Alteryx freezes randomly with simple workflow

darindavis

I'm new to Alteryx, testing with the 14-day trial.  At a half-day workshop I attended last week, I downloaded Alteryx v2018.1.3.42973 and followed along with two simple exercises.  Repeatedly and randomly, when I would click on something, Alteryx would freeze and take 1-2 minutes to recover.  I'm trying to build a simple workflow on my own now and it continues to freeze.

 

I have the x64 version of Alteryx installed on my Dell 7510 laptop, Win 7 Pro 64-bit, Intel Core i7 @ 2.7GHz, 32GB RAM.

 

Does Alteryx have to be installed / run with admin privileges?

 

What am I missing that results in these freezes?

 

Thanks,
Darin

Hi Mike

 

Thank you for your support

 

I installed the latest version 2018.4.5.55178 ... and despite this new installation, Alteryx is still freezing very often and not responding smoothly as before.

Every move look slow ... very annoying.

Thank you to solve that issue for the next release

 

Best Regards

@LANGLOISDid you try 2019.1 version?

Dear Atabarezz

 

Thank you very much for your tip

I installed indeed the latest version this morning (2019.1) but unfortunatly it doesn't improve much Alteryx user experience which is still very slow to react.

I will open a ticket.

 

Many thnaks

 

Best Regards

I am seeing this as well with the latest 2019.1 version.

Just checking to se if the issue had been fixed or if there is a configuration change that can be done to improve the response time.

I am currently on 2018.4.5.55178

This "not responding" is very very very annoying:
