Last Tuesday morning, my workflow totally stalled because hsun kept acting up – you know, that annoying freezing and slow loading thing? Jeez, was ready to throw my monitor out the window. Figured it’s time to actually tackle this headache instead of just restarting every darn time.
Step 1: Pinpointing the Freeze
First I opened Task Manager while running hsun. Watched memory usage jump like crazy during simple commands. Bingo – memory leak signs. Noticed it peaked whenever processing large datasets, which never happened before last update.
- Clicked through reports → Spinning wheel after 3 minutes
- Exported data → Flat out froze mid-process
- Added filters → Memory jumped to 90% instantly
Step 2: My Disaster Cleanup Attempt
Figured cache build-up was the villain so I wiped temp files manually. Deleted everything in %localappdata% → tried loading recent project → big mistake. Got “missing dependencies” errors everywhere. Panic restored files from Recycle Bin – which took 20 painful minutes.
Step 3: The Registry Band-Aid
Searched forums and found people swearing by registry tweaks. Backup registry → opened regedit → navigated to HKLM/Software/hsun → changed MaxCache to 1024 → rebooted like posts said. Booted hsun again… still froze at exact same spot. Felt dumb wasting an hour on that.
The Real Fix That Worked
After screaming into a pillow, checked installed programs. Found conflicting plugin from old project still active. Went to hsun add-ons → disabled “DataToolkit_v3” → instant relief. Memory usage dropped 40% immediately. Processing finished smooth like butter. Almost cried at how stupidly simple it was.
- Plugin wasn’t even active – just existing in folder caused issues
- Latest hsun update flagged it during patch notes (that nobody reads)
- Deleting toolkit folder = permanent fix in under 2 minutes
Lesson? Always check dormant plugins first before deep-diving. Saved me reinstalling the whole dang program. Now I keep that folder emptier than my coffee cup after deadline week.
