Step-by-Step Fix

1

Reset Inkscape Preferences

Delete the "inkscape" folder in %AppData%.

2

Check Font Count

Like GIMP, Inkscape scans all system fonts on startup.

Update Inkscape

Version 1.0+ is much faster and more stable.

When to See a Technician

Inkscape is a powerful vector tool, but it can be heavy on laptops with low RAM.
