Hi hugh, 

As advised by Tom, can you please check if you are running the latest version of the program? Here's a quick guide: 

1. Open the main console. 
2. Click on the shadow of a man icon at the upper right corner of the console. 
3. Click About the Software. The component version should be 15.0.1204. 

If you have the latest version installed, there may be other causes of the slow down of your computer that can be solved by running the hotfix in this link: 

Slow PC performance due to high CPU or memory usage of CoreServiceShell.exe

Please come back to me with the results. :)
