In some installations we see some clients freezing randomly. Not in all installations but in some. I am just wondering how common this issue is and if there are other installations were this issue is comming up out there. And perhaps we know already a bit more regarding the issue.
Thanks for every feedback/hint for a solution or a workaround. Or other Ideas.
We have experienced this with some customers as well.
It seems that the needed resources for the fat client were increased, on PCs with 8 cores and 16 GB RAM it seems to work pretty good but less resources seem to slow down the fat client heavily.
We could not see any issues related to installed Windows updates, the OS on those affected clients was a Windows 11 23H2 and 24H4
Thanks for info. Me personally I have this issue also. 10 Cores and 32GB Ram. I am not sure if it is a performance related issue but I will monitor. I also have the issue mosty but not only if I switch network connection from LAN to WLAN or back. But I also have it if I am stable connected through Ethernet.
We see the issue also directy on the App Server Host (Fat Client installed on the App Server connected to the local App Server Host). So I think also it must not be network related.
I also dont think it’s a network related issue. Other applications work fine but the fat client is slow.
I also install the fat client on the app server and there the application wasnt the fastest from the beginning of version 8 - it got even slower through versions though.
On a VM I think the lack of a GPU is causing the issue because compared to a PC or Laptop with a GPU (also if it’s included in the CPU) makes the client at least a little faster.
I personally have the hunch that the Microsoft GUI framework is scaling very bad. Our CRM also uses that framework and that is also pretty slow. It gets better with higher CPU cores but also with higher GHz
