Hi;
Using BYN V2.0.6 On an Alienware with Windows 10 Home 1703 build - preinstalled & a NVIDIA GTX 1070 card...not the computer you would expect slow performance. I've recently had a real issue with two pieces of astronomy software, and I'm wondering if these are not related i.e. a general Windows OS Video issue - not the applications themselves. Polemaster is the latest edition, and on this new laptop is highly intermittent and choppy with loads of lag with screen refreshes. Back Yard Nikon is (let's be fair) a reasonably slow program when working normally on multiple configurations and computers in my experience. I am now experiencing massive lag in the time commands are issued, and the camera responding or even updating JPEG previews or shots. For example - if I issue a 12 second shot in the framing and preview window it's basically up to 45 seconds or more to open the shutter and then download the image, sometimes not completing successfully.
It was BRUTAL, and completely unuseable. Not a statement I would ever expect to state with these excellent software packages.
Interestingly, some individuals are reporting on the QHYCCD forum that when they play a looping video clip, that this makes the video refresh normally - and I'm wondering if this is the issue I could be experiencing with BYN? I also have BYEOS and a Canon camera here, and could certainly test this also today.
Anyone experiencing issues with this?

BYE/BYN takes almost no CPU at all. I run it on a compute stick. I suspect you have something going at the same time. Check your disk IO during these slow periods to see if Windows is actually

Guylain - thanks for your reply. I was able to use BYN successfully by going not to the "frame and focus" function which still locked up on me occasionally, but using the imaging window, and snap
