SourceTree 2.3.1.0 is much slower to start

Shaul Eizikovich

Let me start by thanking you for this fantastic FREE tool. I use it a lot.

I have upgraded ST latetly to 2.3.1.0 - it starts much slower than prevously and it also have some odd behaviour that might give a clue:

1. It flashes two dialog windows. I manage to catture one which says: 
"Extracting file... Extracting archive: C:\Users\<>\AppData\Local|Atlassian\SourceTree\g[......]"

2. I have pinned ST to my TaskBar (Win10). Once ST starts, it displays an additional shortcut on the taskbar.

 

Thank you

Hi Shaul,

Can you try clearing your preferences like so? https://confluence.atlassian.com/sourcetreekb/how-to-wipe-sourcetree-preferences-412484640.html

I believe there might be some old settings in AppData that may be causing some performance issues.

Cheers,
