Solidworks - 2010 Startimes

| Hardware | Start time (cold) | |----------|------------------| | HDD + old CPU | 90–180 sec | | SSD + 8GB RAM | 30–50 sec | | After fixes | 15–30 sec |


If you meant something else by "startimes", please clarify and I’ll rewrite the post accordingly.

Another plausible interpretation of "Startimes" is a confusion with StarTimes – a Chinese-Africa media broadcasting company.

During the 2010 era, some engineering firms outsourced 3D modeling for satellite dish and broadcast antenna design to Africa-based teams using SolidWorks. There are archived forum threads from 2010 asking: "How to share SolidWorks 2010 files with StarTimes engineering team without losing feature trees?" If you meant something else by "startimes" ,

Title: SolidWorks 2010 Slow to Launch? Here’s How to Speed It Up

If you’re still using SolidWorks 2010 on Windows 10/11 or even older systems, you’ve probably noticed it can take 2–5 minutes just to start. Here’s what helps: To help you best

SolidWorks 2010 startup times were heavily dependent on hardware, add-ins, and file path configurations. While an SSD and clean OS were ideal, even modest systems could achieve 15–25 second startups by disabling unnecessary add-ins and optimizing antivirus settings. Understanding these factors remains relevant today as many legacy industrial systems still run SolidWorks 2010 for long-term projects.


If you truly meant Startimes (e.g., a company that provided workstations or engineering services in 2010), please provide more context so I can tailor the response accordingly. Otherwise, the above write-up covers the essential technical aspects of SolidWorks 2010 startup performance.

I notice you mentioned Solidworks 2010 and "startimes" — but “startimes” might be a typo or unclear term. Did you mean:

To help you best, here’s a quick post/guide assuming you meant "SolidWorks 2010 slow start times" — a common issue for that version on modern OS.
