Hi guys!

I am working with thunderbird for years and was trying to ignore, but now I dont want to anymore:

when I write a mail, during writing thunderbird freezes for about 3 seconds for no visible reason. And it occurs again and again in different timespans during writing the mail. The buffer behind reads the keytrokes and the letters will be written after the short freeze. But its very anoying....

Any ideas on that?

I am on update channel "release" und uptodate. Ah, Windows 8.1 is running.

Thanks in advance! Roman

What is your anti-virus software?

AVG free, switching antivir off makes no difference. TB still freezing from time to time

Try to start Windows in safe mode with networking enabled. - Win10 https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/12376/windows-10-start-your-pc-in-safe-mode - Win8 https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/17076/windows-8-startup-settings-safe-mode - Win7 https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/17419/windows-7-advanced-startup-options-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7

Still in Windows safe mode, start Thunderbird in safe mode. - https://support.mozilla.org/kb/safe-mode

Does the problem go away?
