Grasshopper window opening takes 3-5 mins

[Wooky_Kim (H. Kim)]

Hello you all,

After updating my Rhino7(2023 August Update), I am having some trouble opening my grasshopper.
This problem appears suddenly after the update and I don’t have even that many additional plug-ins, like 12?

It takes me at least 3-5 minutes to open an empty grasshopper window.
The funny thing is that I don’t have any problems with Rhino itself, only with Grasshopper.

Had anyone the same issue and solved it? Could someone please help me out?

Hi -

@Wooky_Kim

I don’t have even that many additional plug-ins, like 12?

I would call that very many.
Have you tried removing those and see how much time it takes for Grasshopper to launch? Then add plug-ins you need and see if you run into one that makes loading times significantly slower.

Hey, thanks for your reply. That is the solution that I wanted to avoid, but maybe it is also the most efficient one.

Loading the plugins from disc might also help, see this topic for a good example (scroll down):

Pre-loader

FWIW, opening Rhino with the /NoSplash shortcut flag and setting it to automatically open Grasshopper helps quite a bit with the tedium in my experience. But if you have a lot of plugins you’ll of course still be waiting, but at least you can do other things while it loads: [2023-08-08 08_34_38-] [2023-08-08 08_36_31-Untitled - Rhino 7 Educational] You can also set per plugin loading settings, but I’m not sure if that’ll help here: [2023-08-08 08_47_49-Grasshopper - GHPython_PersistentLast…
