Hi @nikhil.chandre

Are there multiple instances of studio open?

Please try to close all studio projects and also restart your machine if its been a while.

Then load your studio project and see if any difference in behavior.

hello @sonaliaggarwal47

none of the other instances of studio open

restarted machine , already closed

Make sure, to uninstall Dependencies which are not utilized in your project to make your project load faster.

Is it any workflow? Does an empty one also take a long time to load?

@nikhil.chandre

Is it showing this behavior for all studio projects? or a particular one?
if particular one, then all workflows inside that project? or a specific one?

Also, like Jon mentioned, can you confirm this behavior for empty workflow as well?

its for one specific workflow

@nikhil.chandre

When you say workflow, you mean 1 xaml file, right?

or the whole rpa project having multiple xaml files?

Also, is it a legacy project or windows based?

Is the workflow size quite huge? is it stored on network/shared drive?

Also, please confirm that it does load finally but just takes lot of time? if yes, how much time it takes to load?
or it doesn’t load at all even after few minutes?

its one xaml file
its c# based test automation project
yes workflow size is large. stored locally only
it finally loads , but takes lots of time

@nikhil.chandre

if workflow size is huge, it can take noticeable time to load.

I think that should be fine as long as all other workflows(of less size) loading quickly.

if none of the workflows and even the empty ones are taking alot of time to load, then I would say its a problem.

But for now, in your case, as you stated workflow file is of large size, thus studio taking some time to load is all right in my view as your other workflows are loading as expected.

Also, can you please share the size of your workflow and approx how many minutes does it take to load for reference.

Hope this helps.

Ok, that was important context and means the title here is sorta misleading as you state that workflows (plural) take an unexpectedly large time, when infact its a singular workflow, that is very large, so it shouldnt be wholly unexpected, larger things do usually take longer to load.

What is the size of the individual xaml and have you tried splitting it up?
