So I was playing with it a bit. And my GUI freezes randomly and also when drag&dropping some VST synths. Minimizing and maximizing makes it work again.

The lag in GUI processing on 4K screens has been present since the first 10 release. Improvements were introduced in beta releases, but the lag has not been eradicated or significantly reduced yet. This issue is on the radar.

Are you using (very) high refresh rates?

Not sure if very high, but I am using full HD, 144Hz. Also GUI doesn't lag. It just freezes when I add a new track, but ableton works ok. Minimizing and maximizing solves it and it didn't happen in 10.0.1. I've sent it to support, so hopefully this will get noticed.

Setting the refresh rate back to 60Hz or lower seems to be fixing this for people.

Everything is slower now on windows 7 64 bit when browsing either from the desktop or using push 2. All was fine on the previous release.

edit: So is this related to the refresh rate issue everybody is having? I'm using a pretty old display.

Echoing what Tarekith said, in my case setting my refresh rate to 60 HZ fixed all gui lag for me. Hopefully Windows or Ableton will find a long term fix, though I think this might be a windows issue.

It was fine in the first version 10 release and now it's not. It's not a windows issue.

make sure you haven't added any huuuuge locations to Places. If you add your entire computer to places then the library constantly scans your entire computer, every single file.
My places are: Audio, Music, Live Songs. which probably covers half a terabyte or so. But if I allowed places to index my whole machine it would be about 8 terabytes.

I don't know why they did this library scan. It was a big complaint when 9 came out. No other DAW does this.

What makes you believe that? Even if Live is at fault it could be because an Windows API Live calls in the way it was declared. Ableton said for years OS X was at fault for some audio performance issues (OS X 10.9 to 10.11). Turns out they were right.

Don't assume.

Me neither, I'd rather it was not doing this.

another one here experiencing laggy GUI with 10.0.2.

Posted: **Sun Jun 03, 2018 6:27 pm**

YES!!!!

I have been working with Live since V4 - and this is the BUGGIEST update I have ever dealt with. The 10 BETA didnt have these issues.

You are not alone.....

The struggle is real.....

10.0.2 is very troublesome for me, is there anywhere i can download 10.0.1?,
I went into my account and looked at the download archive but there were only versions of live 9.
