Nahimic for MSI Conflict with DS
After two days of wrestling with new laptop with crippling Daz Studio issues. I finally managed to narrow down the issue to a conflict with the Nahimic for MSI sound application.
The application was in the Win10 startup folder and made DS unusable when a full start up was complete. The CMS would continually fail to load correctly. Using dropdown menu's or other application features would make DS slow to a crawl and become unusable.
Using a Needle in a Haystack troubleshooting approach and around 100 restarts I finally isolated the issue as a conflict with one of the startup items and then went on to identify the Nahimic Sound app as the culprit. Disabling it from the startup programs corrected the issues for me and now everything appears to be working correctly.
Just thought I would add a note here, in case anyone else finds the info useful.
