Hyperlinks Causing Obsidian to Freeze

For next time, have a look at the code formatting section of the forum tips and put your examples in a code block. This way, we can be sure the forum isn’t mangling your links.

Hmm. I’m not sure. I just tried manually typing out and editing a bunch of Markdown links and am not experiencing any slowdowns or freezes.

A few things that come to mind to check (although probably not related):

  • what are your PC specs? older computer? new one?
  • where is your vault? on a local disk or somewhere else? Obsidian saves every few seconds so maybe a network or cloud storage drive could cause slowdowns?
  • have a look in activity monitor/task manager to see if anything is spiking.
  • could your anti-virus software be causing an issue?

If you can grab a screen recoding of it happening, maybe folks could spot something. I don’t know…
