When starting Solidworks on your PC, you may encounter message pop-up that asks to check your system OR run diagnostics.
Please ensure first that your computer meets minimum system requirements, found on official Solidworks website.
Then check if your graphic card drivers are up to date or correspond version of SW installed on the PC.
If you opening large drawings ensure that they aren't opened in Detailing Mode.

1. Step 1: System requirements check

   

   
   

2. Step 2: Hardware Certification

   

3. Step 3: Disable Add-Ins currently not in use.

   When starting Solidworks first time all license included add-ins are loading automatically. Please disable any add-ins you don't need on a daily basis. Each add-on slows down SolidWorks loading time and also loads into RAM.

   
   

   

4. Step 4: Adjust number of GDI-Objects in the system

    GDI (Graphics Device Interface) objects are an important component in Windows that SolidWorks uses to display graphical elements in its user interface.

   You may need admin rights in your Windows system to be able to modify these values in the registry:

   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows

   --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   maximum values:

   GDIProcessHandleQuota =30000

   USERProcessHandleQuota =18000
