Hi, I'm experiencing freezing upon starting the client since the new 8.31 update. It will open and then completely freeze, with no option but to shut it down via task manager. I have tried common fixes such as run as administrator and removing/switching antivirus provider (I saw that mentioned as a possible fix, but had no effect for me). I would appreciate any help as I am a very dedicated uploader to slsk.

Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Laptop-based

Can provide any other relevant information if needed.

You're not running AVG then? If you message me your ScreenHero handle (https://screenhero.com/) in private I can try and take a look at it over the weekend, earlier if I can find the time.

No, I was never running AVG. I was running Avast and then Avira, and didn't have any trouble with those. Uninstalled Avira just to check, but still no dice. All right.
