Slow Load

Is anyone else having a very difficult time opening Scrivener on their laptop? I’ve had to force quit mine several times to avoid the loading symbol of doom

Please help us help you. What version of Scrivener? What platform? What OS version? Have you installed any updates recently? Are you storing your projects locally or in the cloud?

I have version 3.3.6 and every time I open the application it freezes my screen. I have the application on my desktop like an app. I haven’t updated in a while but I closed all my tabs, reset my browsing data, and shut down my computer!

Scrivener is stored on your Desktop or is it just a shortcut pointing to Scrivener (stored in Applications)?
