  Hi all,
  
  I have a terrible problem since last week's latest windows update: when I open CFX, I can not edit geometries or meshes anymore. I get the following errors:
  
  First error after opening a .wbpj
  
  Update failed for the Mesh component in Fluid Flow (CFX). Unable to get Assembly mesh method. Meshing is busy in another operation.
  
  Error after attempting to edit a Mesh:
  
  Error while waiting for Meshing initialization to complete. Either the application crashed or Workbench lost communication with it.
  
  Error after attempting to open DesignModeler:
  
  The geometry editor was closed abnormally.
  
  I have uninstalled and reinstalled ANSYS 18.2 about 10 times now. I also deleted all the ANSYS-related folders in %appdata% and %temp%. However, the problem persists after a completely clean install using the archive from the site!
  
  What can I do?

  I dont think the problem is with Windows update but rather a corrupted file when you saved workbench.

  Thanks for the answer, but I don't think that's the case - even if I start a completely new project I can't open designmodeler or mesh!
