Software Not Responding alert after Add-on

hi folks… new to blender, long time animator…

added on the “pie menu” add-on. before this blender was working perfectly with no lag issues or response alerts.

once installed, anytime the add-on was used the computer would not dig it and i would get the “not responding” alert with the old “spinning wheel of wait a minute”. 15 seconds later we are back to business. the delay occurred when using the drop down menu to go to a new mode as well…

i ended up uninstalling blender and re-installing it. now with the newly installed software, i am STILL having the issue…

nothing else on the system was changed or altered over the last two hours, just the add-on, uninstall of blender and new install…

i am running a 64 bit PC with Blender 2.79.

thanks in advance for the help. i have not been as excited about animating in a long time… REALLY loving blender and the open source concept.

Not sure which Pie menu you have installed. I am using version 1.1.6 for a long time now and haven’t had any issues. This version is included in Blender by default so installing is not necessary only activation. On the other hand when any plugin is activated there could be some delay. I get slight delay of 2 second when I activate rigify addon for example but no noticeable delay for pie menu or similar small addon. Its good idea to load default scene, activate plugns that you use often and save that default settings with “Ctrl-U”. That way plugins are loaded at startup and available for use without further interaction.
