Asset Store lagging and freezing the Unity Editor

Unity Engine
1

Every time I fire up Unity it takes 5 minutes for it to be usable and I’ve noticed that it only does this when the asset store tab is loading my list of downloads or it is going to a new page of the store after hitting search.

The editor, when loading my list of purchases and downloads, becomes completely unresponsive. Sometimes an hour into a project the whole editor lags and freezes. It stops doing this when I close the asset store tab. If I open the tab again then I have to wait another 5-10 minutes for the editor to become responsive again.

How can this be fixed and is there a current solution?

GTX1080 8GB, 16GB Ram, Quadcore AM4 AMD Processor, Windows 10, Samsung 500GB SSD drive, all WIN10 updates installed and all drivers up to date.

Thats normal in any version. Which is why I am happy to have GrabYourAssets so I don’t have to deal with that. Having a bunch of assets also makes it super super slow.

I found another post from 2014 that complains about the same thing. It’s so broken. We really need another way to download the assets rather than being forced to use the crippled and broken unity editor store downloader. Like come on…years of it being so broke…I hate having to wait for hours and hours just to download a new asset. I wish there was another asset store so we could get the stuff without wasting so much time.
