windows 10, even a 1M Byte text file got this 'not responding' dialog window!!! 1.86.2, all extensions disabled, gpu acceleration disabled.

I delete everything in user settings.json, and it open big files very quick!

I'll check the settings items then.

The problem is caused by the Nvidia drivers. These also cause the Chrome browser to start very slowly. Since Electron uses the Chromium engine, this leads to the same problem. It helps to uninstall the Nvidia e.g. with the command sudo apt-get remove --purge '^nvidia-.*'
