  Dear
  
  i recently faced an issue with Ansys Fluent
  when trying to browse files from the file tap it takes so long just to go from a folder to another
  
  is there any fix to this problem knowing that i have tried to uninstall and install but it does not solve the problem
  
  thanks

  I've not seen that. Are you looking on the local disc or over a network? I assume you have space on the local disc and aren't using the RAM & cpu for something else?

  Dear Rwoolho
  thanks for the prompt reply
  
  i am running fluent in my laptop and have plenty of disc space as well , Ram and CPU low usage
  i do not think is because of the Ram or CPU since it runs the simulations in serial and parallel without issue
  
  i have checked the firewall as well and no thing regarding Fluent is deactivated
  
  any idea what is causing that
  
  regards

  Are all panels slow, or just those looking at files?

  Dear
  i managed to solve the problem
  
  after searching on the net it was advised to disable certain third party extensions , i did so and fluent back to normal and is working fine now
  what surprised me is why only fluent was affected and workbensh , design modeler and mesh were fine
  
  anyway problem was solved and thank you so much for your follow up
  
  regards

  Which extension?
  
  Fluent is UNIX based so may well interact with 3rd party tools in a different way to Workbench which was developed on Windows.

  Dear
  
  really not sure which extension
  i follow a blog on the net where people mentioned that some extension added to right click list menu will cause same thing for different processes
  
  the blog was not specific to Fluent but once i disabled those extensions Fluent back to normal , but what surprised me is just Fluent got unstable but if work from workbench every thing was ok.
  
  i would like to report that the issue is solved
  
  sorry for any inconvenience and thanks for your help

  No worries. I was curious as to what you were running to let DEV & IT know to see if we can do something about it for 2021.
