PS Deluxe 2026 - PAINFULLY SLOW DOING ANYTHING

John-Miller4117 wrote on 6/21/2026, 8:36 AM

I just purchased Photostory deluxe 2026 Version 25.0.1.318.

It has to be the most unresponsive application I have ever used. Almost every interaction with the user interface leads to a delay of 5 to 10 seconds, sometimes longer. It is utterly unusable. At first, I suspected the OneDrive issue, but I have reinstalled to a custom location AND quit OneDrive. No joy.

I must be missing something.

Hi

Check Windows Settings, Accessibility, Text Cursor, Text Cursor Indicator is turned off.

. . . . At first, I suspected the OneDrive issue, but I have reinstalled to a custom location AND quit OneDrive . . . .

Did you read the solution for this issue with OneDrive?

Quitting the application is not enough, you must as a minimum, stop OneDrive syncing the Magix folder and its subfolders in OneDrive, and dowmload everything Photostory related from OneDrive to the appropriate folders within the Magix folder.

I reinstalled PS using custom settings to a location outside of OneDrive. There are no files associated with it on OneDrive. This didn't help.
