Fusion is unusuably slow after last update

I've been using fusion 360 for over 10 years. 
After the last 2 update, fusion has become nearly unusable because it is so slow and constantly freezing. Even files that worked great a year ago, now suddenly feel like I'm using a computer in 1995 again. 

To rule out my computer as the problem, I've even tried using other family members computers with the same result. Fusion 360 has suddenly become slow and buggy. 

If any developers are reading this, I beg you to stop pushing out half baked features with AI and instead focus on quality. Features should not be pushed out that makes the user experience slower. 

Machine: M1 Macbook Pro
CPU: M1 Max
Memory: 32GB
OS: Tahoe 26.2

Can you attach a file here that exhibits this behavior?

For me, it slows down sometimes when making the first dimension. Now I am doing a static simulation, and I might need to force close the app cause it has frozen while waiting for the simulation to complete. How can my app freeze when the simulation is not even being done on my pc which is something I would love to do. Even if my pc is bad, I would like to be able to just stress test my pc for fun sometimes and to get an idea of how much computation is actually needed for what I'm testing. 

My model is literely a aluminium wall frame which is not that complex for any issues to occur. I have never had any issues of any kind before one of these updates.

anche io, workstation nuova e quando lancio le simulazioni cam si blocca, questo avviene dopo l'ultimo aggiornamento, ho anche fatto qualche passo indietro sulla versione dei driver della scheda video, ho abbassato i settaggi di qualità , ma non cambia molto a volte si blocca e rimane bloccato.

Do you mind reporting performance issue using "Report Performance Issue" command? It'd be very helpful for the team to investigate the performance issues and make it better.

I apprectiate you weighing in on this, I'm expiriencing the same thing on both my computers built from components that Autodesk reccomended in their literature. I work with Fusion ~8 hours a workday and always read the patch notes and watch the what's new videos. 

 

It's good advice to read the what's new section, that will not cause or solve a slowdown after an update.
