Opus slow

Likely I am the only one, but it strikes me that Opus became (very) slow over since a few days, or week or so.
Even when renaming just a few files (4-5) a pop-up shows up for some 5 seconds, before I can perform the actually rename (enter the old-new-boxes at the top)

Or just starting Opus from the taskbar, it takes somewhere between 15-20 seconds before showing up. Opus always starts in a default folder (\Downloads) and it used to be much faster.

Are there any settings that I should check out?
Or did something changed in v.13.13?

Is doing similar things to the same files slow in other programs as well?

See General slowdown or instability investigation steps for general ideas.

Thanks. I'll get back on this. Will go thru the above "General slowdown or instability investigation steps" tomorrow.

Thanks again. I have applied a number of settings. Let's see.

I was about to post a similar thread. Opus has been slow to launch since early February. I don't have any CPU hogs, and I haven't changed any other configurations. The only thing I can think of is it's trying to scan a volume and not getting the information quickly.

Is there anything anyone can think of that could be causing this?

Slow when you do what?

Have you been through the list linked above?

As I said, the first time I launch after a reboot, it takes 10-15 seconds to launch and previously it had loaded in under 2 seconds.

Only right after a reboot? (I.e. Is it also slow if you use File > Exit Directory Opus, then re-launch it?)

No. It's the first time after a reboot, and I'm not trying to launch DO right away. I may work on email or something. It could be 30 minutes after the reboot.

I've actually exited out of DO. Counted to 10 and relaunched it and it is snappy, like 1 second.

A process monitor log taken while Opus is starting up might reveal something.

I'll do that.

I'm experiencing the exact same symptoms. Not quite sure when this started though. It's only on the first start of Dopus, after that it loads very quickly. I have a Process Monitor log from a few days ago but I can't see how to upload it.
Dopus Logfile.zip (9.4 MB)
Realized I had to zip it first. Log attached

slow first load Logfile.zip (91.9 MB)

Any word on this?

have the same problem with the first slow start since 13.13.6
a layout is set as default in all start options
with 13.13.7 it takes even longer.


Sorry for not getting back on this. I should have, as topic starter.

Frankly, I let it rest and accepted Opus to be slower than before.

That said, I believe the rename panel shows up much faster now.
At first, when renaming (no matter whether 5 or 50 files) a small pop-up would first show up for a couple of seconds, then the actual list of file names to be renamed. The pop-up doesn't show anymore, the list is being displayed quickly now.
