Slow viewport, asset browser won't load blender 4.3.2 MAC OS Intel

MAC OS 15.3 (24D60)
40 GB 2133 MHz DDR4
AMD Radeon Pro 5700 XT 16 GB
3.6 GHz 10-Core Intel Core i9

The fan runs hot as well the app being too slow to use.

The problems started after I installed some addons 2 days ago. Clean Panels, Easy Paralllax, Trees, Synchronize Workspaces, Terra Blend.

Clean Panels seemed to be the problem and I don’t think sychronize work spaces helped. I turned them off and things looked OK… for a short time then went back to the problems.

I have tried reloading Bender, turning off the new addons, deleteing the path files for the assetts and adding them back in. I am still new to Blender so I’m not sure what else to do so any help is welcome. The assetts are on a different drive but Blender has no problem accessing that drive to open files etc.

So frustrating I can’t work at all and spend all day trying to get it working !

Have you tried reinstalling Blender?
This can fix the issues.

There are a lot of guides on how to manage and use your assets.
If it’s not a problem with the system, please refer to the manual and video materials

https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/files/asset_libraries/index.html

https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/editors/asset_browser.html

※ Unless it’s just a problem you don’t know how to use, you can try factory reset to fix blender’s problem. In this case, all the settings will disappear.
Back up and run the settings.

I did install over the current copy. That didn’t work but I thought ti was worth a try before starting over from zero.

It did work for a little while after I shut off Clean Panels so I think it might be something else. I am at the point where I think your plan to uninstall and start over might be the quickest route to fixing it. I thought it might be my computer but I use a lot of heavy prorgams and everything else works really well. It’s just Blender.

I just opened Blender and it’s working normally again! Something is up!

You don’t have to worry if it’s simply a problem of not finding a path, because it could be a system error.

However, it would be better to check the storage device just in case.
There are free programs to check the condition of the storage device. :thinking:

This might not last as a solution but I noticed that bagapie assets were trying to load (I don’t have bought assets from them yet) and might be causing the slowdown and asset browers issues so I deleted them from the file paths and… even clean panels works well so far! Maybe I can get back to work! Thanks everyone for your suggestions.
