Interface Freeze

Movies. It turns out that I was actually moving stuff and placing things on
the canvas, but the canvas didn't update until I opened Equations etc then
went back to Wiring.

This looks like another deadlock situation. Switching to equations or phillips and back to wiring will reset any locked mutexes attached to the canvas.
For reference, the version (from About box shown in videos) is 3.22.0, which is not the multithreaded version, so this is a little weird.
Lack of a debugger on Windows is a real problem, as this manifestation doesn't happen on Linux.
My long-running calculation has crashed, when allowed me to set the 32 bit emulation flag and do a new Windows build of Ravel sim. Version 3.23.0
Could you take this for a spin and see if these lock ups occur again?
I haven't got to that point yet because Ravel install fails--Minsky upgrades OK, but the install process fails-see screenshots. Movie to follow.
Movie.

The freezing doesn't appear to happen, but as you can see, I can't install Ravel.
All I can say is that it works for me. For the sake of the exercise, I started with 3.21.0, clicked upgrade, clicked through all the prompts, and it ended up with 3.23.0 with Ravel 2.1.9-pro. For reference, I used Windows 11, 25H2 build 26200.7840.
Maybe try again, in case it was a temporary network glitch.
You will notice I have disabled "one-click" installation, as I have been told that some some anti-malware systems flag one-click NSIS installers as potential malware. Ideally I'd like to switch to an MSI installer, like we had for Minsky 2.x, but that is not currently technically feasible :(.
Any signs of the freezing in 2.23.0?
Yes, unfortunately. I’ll send you a video recording when I’m finished with
an interview today—maybe three hours away. It happened several times while
giving yesterday’s class.

Any chance of getting that video recording?
I may not have recorded it properly! But I'll check my desktop when I get
home if I can't locate it on Skool in the meantime.

Here are some really extreme examples from a tutorial for a colleague today.

I have integrated changes suggested by Gemini that supposedly tone down WM_PAINT message storms, and released it as 3.25.1. Could you please try this under zoom, and see if the freezes are still happening?
Will do!
