Not a frequent user, but ever since I updated CE a couple versions ago it started freezing whenever I would try to enable a function on a script OR if I just try to select a game.

I.E.
Zanzer "Z Baldur's Gate 3 table" (Can't post a URL)
Double-click the .CT file in order to open it.
Click the PC icon in Cheat Engine in order to select the game process.
Keep the list.
Activate the trainer options* Freezes

I.E.
Open cheat engine
Select game process
Click around in CE* Freezes

What I've tried
1. Waiting before enabling
2. Selecting the game application / processes
2a. Selecting them at the menu / during the game
3. Whitelisting in windows security
4. Validating no firewall issues.
5. Un-install / re-install
6. Installing on same drive as games / different drive
7. Different games / scripts
8. Google search Smile

*EDIT Ran as admin

Any help would be appreciated!

does the freeze stop within 5 minutes?

It does not. I read one of your replies (assuming it was you from the the pony) from another post to see if that would work and it never unfroze. Your post made me attempt the wait at each stage, after loading CE, selecting so on and so forth.

rename/delete the dotnetdatacollector64.exe in ce's folder and see if it makes a difference

You're brilliant. Why does that cause a hold up? Will I need to regularly do that?

small issue with .net if the latest build of .net core is not installed

It will be fixed next version.

You only need to do it once, but if you do wish to cheat on a game that runs .net (like terraria) then it may be worth it to put back
