I am using 2 machines: Surface Pro 4 (I7, 16GB Ram, 512 SSD) and a new Alienware 15 R2 (I7 6820, 32GB Ram, NVidia 980, 1TB SSD).
Both machine are experiencing the same issues with Draw X8 freezing up when trying to open a file (any file), and whatever this Font Manager X8 mess is, that program is a crash waiting to happen.
Uninstalled, re-installed, no benefit.
I wonder if anyone else is having any issues.
Both machines were previously running X7 without issue. Looks like I'll be going back to what works. I wonder if a refund is possible.

How are you fonts stored? Locally on a network? Are you hardwired or wireless? How many fonts?
David Bevins said:I know on another thread one person had added c:\windows to the font manager. As it watches folders for changes and windows creates temp files constantly, well imagine the result. Maybe you have a folder in the font manger pointed to a high traffic folder?
Yes, I was thinking on the same thread. The old FontManager allows to search the entire hard disk for fomnts, since is not watching folders constantly
