Simulink slow gui response

I have Simulink installed on my High End laptop and overall it doesn't run smoothly.

When I try to double click for the menu to appear it takes time to respond.

Another case, when I try to right click anywhere for context menu to appear and hover over over any menu of these drop lists it is very slow.

PS: I didn't face any of these issues on a lower end laptop with less RAM and GPU resources!

Hi Sherif,

I understand that Simulink is responding very slowly when you are trying to open the menu. Here are some suggestions that may help you:

• Make sure that you have the latest version of Simulink installed. New versions can have performance improvements that can help improve performance. For this, please click “Help” in MATLAB and then click “Check for Updates”. Alternatively, download update from this link: https://in.mathworks.com/downloads/
• Accelerator mode can also be used to increase the speed and performance. You can switch to accelerator mode by clicking the “Simulation” tab and selection the “Accelerator” from the dropdown menu. Refer to this link to know more about the Accelerator Mode: Use Accelerator Mode During Simulations - MATLAB & Simulink (mathworks.com)
• Adjusting the solver settings can help improve simulation performance. You can adjust solver settings by clicking the “Simulation” tab, selecting “Configuration Parameters” and navigating to “Solver” tab according to your simulation model. Refer to this link to know about Solver settings:Solver that computes states and outputs for simulation - MATLAB (mathworks.com)

Also check this link for improving the Simulation performance using performance advisor: Improve Simulation Performance Using Performance Advisor - MATLAB & Simulink (mathworks.com)

Hope this helps.
