This is the first time using CE x64, and freezes systematically when stepping via F8 or F9. After stepping 5-6 instructions, I experience a 2-3 second freeze every time.

Any hints?

EDIT: Also seems to be a GUI problem as the User Interface keeps freezing from User Inputs every now and then

Is this a mono game where you enabled the mono features ? (Debugging and the mono dissector don't go hand in hand)

Besides that, make sure it's not an online game. (they can be annoying with debugging)

Also, what debugger interface do you use ? Windows, VEH, or kernel ?

And no other hotkeys attached to f8 or f9 ? (e.g speedhack or pause/resume)

Thanks, what do you mean with Mono Game.

It is offline and Windows Debugging. I don't use any Hotkeys.

EDIT: I am debugging the BitTorrent.exe doing a test and same there. It is non related to the exe debugged but CE itself.

What CE version?
What Windows version? (if windows 10, use at least 6.6)
Is this a Lenovo laptop?

Try debugging just the tutorial. (Step through the code)

If that also freezes every few steps, see how "Break and trace" behaves (just curious)

But I have no clue as to what the cause can be. Perhaps a security thing in your system that is doing a lot of processing on debug events.

Try the VEH debugger interface.

I will try the tutorial.

It is not in the debugger it seems, but in the GUI.

Example: The clicks in the GUI freeze. Also the x64dbg works OK.

What could it be if it is not related to the debugger itself ?

running any specialized multi display tools ?

You've opened a memory view window in fullscreen on a 4K display resolution and using a small font ?

Try deleting your autorun folder in the ce install dir. Perhaps something in there is interfering

Tried a reboot ?

No luck. The freeze is on the GUI; if you go idle for a few seconds then when you start to click or move the selection you experience a 2-3 second freeze.

I find that stepping through code for any 64bit target tends to be slower than its 32bit version. This holds true for CE or x64dbg etc..

The problem is more general. Is a user interface problem.

I tried CE 6.3 and it does not freeze.

+6.3 versions 32/64 GUIs freezes.

What has changed as from 6.4 in terms of GUI?

maybe the lazarus build.

if you can try running ce on another gpu (e.g some laptops let you choose between processor and external gpu)

Dark Byte, I don't understand.

The problem is on 6.4 GUIs onwards. Something changed vs 6.3

Can you clarify?

Thanks
