I recently upgraded from 2016 SP5.0 to 2017 SP1.0. SW now takes a lot longer to load up. It used to take about 10 seconds, it now takes about 2 minutes. The SW splash screen takes a long time on "Loading registry..."
For other reasons, I already deleted (actually just renamed) HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Solidworks from the registry.
Any suggestions?
I finally found a solution for this. I uninstalled (and reinstalled) AVG. Simply disabling AVG did not work. Thanks for the suggestions everyone.
