OrCAD Capture 17.40.008 Very Slow and Clunky Startup

cstocci

Hi,

Got Windows 10 Pro (64-bit) with last update (2004).  Noticed that upon starting the Cadence Capture (OrCAD), that the application seems to take quite a bit of time to get to a stable screeen (>30 seconds).  I have disabled the Startup Screen (per the following Forum URL):

https://community.cadence.com/cadence_technology_forums/f/pcb-design/45359/start-page-in-capture-17-4

and it seems to take the same amount of time to get to the stable screen.

Are there any other things one can disable to speed up the launching of the Capture 17.40 application?  BTW, I also have the latest fix (008) installed.

    Hi bsimard,

    Unfortunately, there is no answer to the startup and/or general "clumsiness" of the 17.40.xxx version of OrCAD/Allegro.  I feels alot like Altium and like Altium, I think they try to load a lot of modules into memory which causes the "heaviness" rather than the old snappiness of previous versions.

    I  kind of doubt there is much we can do as this seems to be the path Cadence wants to go in.
