Revit 2018 slow in Windows 10

[MachielAEC]

Hi All,

I would like to find out if anybody has found that Revit Projects are running slow on Windows 10 OS.

Having a problem where I'm opening up a file on a Windows 7 PC and the file is working fine (slowness due to file size) with a full building with all links in 3D view. When I open the same file on a Windows 10 PC the file is super laggy when I only have some links loaded and a section box around 1 floor level.

The specs of the PC's is the same, the major difference is that the Win 10 PC has more recent hardware - i7-7700

Have you try to install latest updates 2018.1, 2018.2, 2018.3, 2018.31 and see if helps. Thanks

All the systems are running on the same version number (RVT 2018.2) which in essence shouldn't make a difference between Revit on differente PC's.

Hi @MachielAEC

Revit 2018.3.1* is the latest update. Make sure your team is on the same build.

@Viveka_CD

So I've reqeusted that they update to the latest build. As mentioned previously, I do believe that updating to 2018.3.1 will be the solution as all the Revit builds in the office is on 2018.2 - no difference between builds.

What was interesting was that if you open Revit in Win7 Compatibility mode it runs better, not the same as the Win 7 PC's.

Interesting to note the difference between the windows platforms.

Generally slow, very difficult to write text, drag symbols etc.
My IT-support told me, that it´s a problem Autodesk is working on to get us a solution

Hi @SEFLIL

Can you share diagnostic data?

I can send you a private upload folder.

Hello!

I just wanted to share my solution to this problem. I´ve disabled the "defendpoint" on my computer. This solved my problems, I hope it solves others with similar issues!
