Hi Everyone,
Apologies if the post is in the wrong place, not familiar with the software and trying to help someone with an ongoing problem.
QDIS functions fine but when creating or editing the project and working on the Item Properties Legend, typing and making changes take a very long time. CPU tends to rocket up to 100% and its been an ongoing problem for some time.
My question is then, do we have doucmentation for the heardware requirement for running the software and is there any known issues with the performance on this specific application as described? Any help would be greatly appreciated,
QGIS Prizren 3.34.1
QGIS Bratislava 3.40.2
QGIS Solothurn 3.44.0
Windows 11 home Build 26100
sorry again if I am doing this all in the wrong place.
David,
Not a problem. You didn’t mention your CPU or amount of memory. I generally prefer at least 16 GB of RAM on Windows 10/11 computers no matter what. You can do things in QGIS with 8 GB , but Windows itself seems to be an impediment below 16 GB for work.
How many cores does your CPU have?
How large a data set are you working with? How many classes in your legend?

Its not a good laptop. There are other staff with similar grade laptops who aren’t reporting a problem with QDIS, but I may have to do some replication with them, i’d be surprised if they didn’t have similar issues if that is the case.
LENOVO 82C5
CPU i3-1005G1
8GB RAM
256 SSD
According to this link, https://www.productindetail.com/pn/lenovo-v15-iil-82c5 , this laptop is has a dual core CPU and 4GB of RAM soldered to the motherboard. There is a memory slot that I’m guessing has another 4GB of RAM. The maximum RAM this computer can have is 12 GB. I’m not surprised you are running into performance issues if you are working with larger data sets or complex cartographic designs. QGIS does multi threaded rendering when drawing the display using all available cores. You only have 2.
