I have been using Corel Draw since X4 and have had a problem start up. I recently upgraded my Windows 10 install with the November 2015 update. I am now finding that when I load a file to work on in CorelDraw, my cpu load for Corel goes up to about a constant 42-45% and the overall machine load cycles between 75-96% which slows the overall machine down to a crawl. Is anyone else seeing this problem?Why would Corel use so much CPU just sitting there waiting for me. This is happening with a file loaded and I'm not doing anything to it. I'm looking at upgrading my laptop and want to avoid this problem on the new one. Thanks!
There may be background processes running.
Did you upgrade X7 to the latest version?
What is the version number you're running?
