Previously I was running ArchiCAD 27 & 29 on Windows 10, however over the holiday break I built a new PC with a AMD 9800X3D, 64gb of RAM and the OS installed on a 1TB m2.NVME SSD.
Over the past few weeks I have constant issues with ArchiCAD taking an eternity to load up and the other day it got to a point where it just refused to open at all. After spending that morning looking into the matter, I ended up having to change permissions and some other tweaks to get it working, however I believe that the culprit appears to be the Smart Control App that has been implemented as part of Windows 11. While I can use the program now, the initial start-up can take anywhere from 5 minutes or more to load up and I find this incredibly frustrating with a brand new computer.
I am looking for feedback / advice from other users as to whether this is a common problem with this OS and if so, asking for any potential workarounds that you may have found. The big one would be disabling the Smart Control App entirely, however to re-enable it requires a fresh install of Windows 11, so at the moment this would be a last resort. Given the specs of the PC, there should really be no excuses for poor performance that I am experiencing.
Operating system used: Windows 11
