Ableton Forum

I wonder if anyone else can reproduce this, in Live 10.0.2. I'm also in Win 7x64 Pro.

The Preferences and Export Dialogues sometimes take between 5 and 30 seconds to become responsive.

Sometimes when clicking a tab in the Preferences dialogue, nothing changes visually, but if I exit and reload it, it is now showing the tab I clicked on previously. So the mouse click is being processed, but the dialogie is not refreshing visually.

This is happening with 100% reproducibility, and I haven't noticed it in any other Live 10 release.

Ableton support have been informed, but I'm interested to know if anyone else is experiencing similar?

Are you using an external display?

No, just the laptop one, with latest nVidia drivers.

I'm finding a lag in everything,not just dialogues sometimes a new track created by a VSTi drop can take a couple of minutes to appear, although the VSTi interface has appeared.

restarted Live and timed it at 90 seconds before I could click on anything at all

Loaded last project (3 instruments, 4 audio loops) and it took this long to show up -

• Launchpad S - 17seconds
  Ableton screen - 2 minutes 51 seconds

I'm about to do that very thing

I had my screen refresh rate set to 120Hz, and setting it to 60Hz seems to have solved the problem.

Ableton support informed me that this should be fixed in a future update, but it won't appear in a stable release before 10.0.3 at the earliest.

Same thing happens to me in 10.0.2. I am using Win10, full HD, 144Hz. Workaround is to minimize and maximize live (basically double click it in the task bar).

lowering to 60Hz worked for me for the meantime.

same issue but even with 30 MHz refresh rate I still have problems. When on the settings page it takes 3-5 sec to change the Tab and when I open dropdown menu it feezez complataly. No access to Maximize/Minimize (no responding).

This make it almost impossible to work.

Had the lagging / freezing as well, here is a fix, which solved it for me (also suggested by the support):

-Create an option text file like in the description here:
https://help.ableton.com/hc/en-us/artic ... s-txt-file

-copy this text inside the text file: -_ForceGdiBackend

-put it in the folder as described in the upper link

-restart Live 10.03 (or install it)
