Hi, Since several days ago I notice a lot of slowness when working with sourcetree. I have tried rebooting and everything but it keeps doing the same thing. I am using windows 10

@Geraldine Pujol Aguilera welcome to the Atlassian community

This is usually due to the following:

  • Checking Remote Changes: SourceTree constantly checks remotes for updates; disable this in Preferences > General > "Check for updates".
  • Large Diffs/Files: SourceTree's diffing can be CPU-intensive; adjust settings under Preferences > Diff > "Ignore File Pattern" to exclude large files (e.g., *.log*.bak).
