Roblox Studio Major Performance Issue

Every single time I open up a place file in Roblox Studio, the frame rate of the whole program drops significantly low, which happens even on a new baseplate. This was especially apparent when testing in “Play Solo”. Testing with with a separate client and server performs a lot better, but still not perfect. This issue has been going on for around the past 6 months for me.
Today I updated my Nvidia GForce graphics card driver to Version 416.34. With this version I get an incredibly low frame rate doing anything in Roblox Studio, even hovering my mouse over icons in the explorer takes about 3 seconds. However, when I switch tabs from studio or click on my taskbar with studio in windowed mode, everything functions perfectly fine. That is until I click back in studio. This issue only happens in studio, playing any game that isn’t in studio works perfectly fine.

I took a look at the Microprofiler and got these results. You can see where I clicked back in studio from when I switched tabs in the frames.

Here are my system specs.

What’s your graphics mode? Does changing it solve your problem?

Please see this thread and related threads linked within. Maybe you have the same issue?

I will try this.

The issue resides with PluginGuis. I’ve documented the issue here:

For whatever reason, I haven’t been able to draw much attention to my thread. It’s causing me so much trouble that I’ve basically halted any game development for the time being. I literally have to delete PluginGuis in order to raise the framerate to a useable level.

I have actually disabled all plugins and then reinstalled Roblox Studio. So I doubt that those plugins are even linked to the new install of studio.

Thank you so much! I switched to OpenGL and it is a solid 60 FPS!!
