Problem having Revit2018 load on a laptop now that the drive is a solid state

[Anonymous]

Own a laptop and have Revit2018 educational on it. The program was running extremely slowly on the laptops original drive so I swapped out the original drive to a solid state drive. First two weeks of the new drive in Revit ran fine now I can’t get it to open unless I am opening AutoCAD first than Revit or it will bailout on the load. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Revit at least 8 times useing methods emailed to me by AutoDesk and on their website with no success. As for the drive size it’s fine I can run AutoCAD and Inventor at the same time and once Revit is running it runs fine. Any ideas why Revit won’t open and bails out at 80mb into the opening sequence?

Hi @Anonymous

Welcome to the Autodesk community!

I'm sorry to hear that you are facing issues with the software.

As the first step, can you try the below for me:

To make sure that the issue you are seeing is not something already fixed in one of the product updates, I would suggest checking the Desktop App to see if there are any Revit updates available. For information on using the Desktop App see the following article: About the Autodesk Desktop App

Note: If you are not able to download updates through the Desktop App, the following article has information on downloading updates through the Autodesk Accounts page: Install Updates, Add-ons, and Enhancements

Let me know if there is any difference once you the updates in place.

Thanks for replying to me.  The Autodesk Desktop App was not installed on my laptop. Once it was there where 8 upgrades to install for Revit and one of them fixed the problem. There where also updates for AutoCAD and Inventor sitting there that I did not know about.

Check the Desktop App from time to time for updates and fixes, support at the app forum is also available.
