AutoCAD stopped working in multiple PCs

[tressirussi]

So, this week at work, all computers with CAD presented the same issue, the loading screen pops up and after a while it freezes. It happens along with a win 10 update, but some computers had win 8, so I don't think thats it. Still didn't try a reinstall (I don't have admin so I can't install or uninstall stuff) https://vidmate.onl/

Someone had the same issue?

@tressirussi ,

Welcome to the AutoCAD forum.

Start with these options:

• AutoCAD products fail to launch on Windows 10 and Windows 11

• AutoCAD freezes or hangs right after startup

Rollback the Windows update.

What version of AutoCAD?

From my perspective if they locked you out of the PCs they simultaneously assumed the responsibility for fixing issues like these. Get those who have admin right to start trouble shooting. 

That said, what version of AutoCAD are yall running?

If it's multiple PC's different set ups .. I'd look at your Firewall/Anti-Virus.

It's like slowing down the access to the verification.

I agree with rolling back the updates as an easy test.  Have your admin configure a WSUS server so that they can approve updates before they get installed.

Another quick test ... Unplug it from the network / wifi / Internet of any kind .. and try starting it. What happens
