Slow performance of Alteryx designer

Question

I’ve recently been experiencing significant slowness in my Alteryx Designer. Alteryx frequently goes into “(Not Responding)” mode, especially when I make changes to larger workflows. This performance issue has become quite frustrating, and I’m not sure what’s causing it. Any guidance or suggestions to improve Alteryx’s performance would be greatly appreciated. I use Alteryx 2024.2

Curious, do you have any python tools in your WF?  I notice a no response happens on all of our WFs with a python tool.  I've tried changing to all the recommended settings but still no luck.

You can check your remaining space in your system drive; it might also be the root cause. Turn off the unnecessary applications while you're working on Alteryx, this may save some memory to process Alteryx. Also you can increase the memory limitation in Alteryx settings (though this is not recommeded in most cases)

It will more likely than not be a memory thing - do you have a lot of memory & storage available?
