AJCrowley Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Running High Sierra 10.13.1 (17B35a) Alfred 3.5 [876] Lately, Alfred has become extremely slow and laggy. I bring up Alfred, and after each keypress have to wait a second or two before the next keypress registers. It's bordering on unusable. I try to think back to when I first noticed the slowdown, and I'm guessing it was around the time I updated to High Sierra, but I don't know if it's connected. I found a similar thread about Alfred 2, and have tried all of the suggested steps - I have disabled the eject commands, disabled all workflows, rebuilt the metadata, and disabled all but the most useful features to me. It continues to run at a snail's pace. Has anyone else been experiencing this problem? Is there anything else that I can try to speed things up? Is there any more useful info that I can provide you to help get to the bottom of this? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vitor Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Welcome. This is a known issue. Search these forums for “High Sierra lag” and you’ll find a bunch of topics. The problem most likely lies with your theme, if it uses a window blur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJCrowley Posted October 17, 2017 Author Share Posted October 17, 2017 That's exactly what the issue was. I built my own theme back when I first started using Alfred and it's always worked fine for me. Any idea if the developers are working to fix this? Thanks again!

But there’s a good possibility it’s a High Sierra bug that cannot be fixed from Alfred’s side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJCrowley Posted October 17, 2017 Author Share Posted October 17, 2017 Cool, well as long as I can use another theme, it's a minor inconvenience, rather than making one of my favourite apps barely usable. I can live with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vero Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 @AJCrowley As Vitor said, there's a High Sierra issue affecting a small proportion of users when using high window blur. Simply lowering the blur resolves the issue. Take a look at the "lag" headline here: https://www.alfredapp.com/blog/tips-and-tricks/alfred-3-5-ready-for-high-sierra/ Also, please fill in your Powerpack email address in your forum profile.
