Less Addins save memory:- Lot of memory being used on your computer just starting SolidWorks because one or more o Add-ins is left on, this may cause SolidWorks to open slowly. Only turn on certain Add-ins when you are using them. For example is you only use PhotoWorks a couple times a month or like many user a couple times a year, turn it off unless you are using it. . SolidWorks takes up lot of memory for the Addins like simulation when it is not all used. To check on your current Add-in that may be on at this time, start SolidWorks and go to Tools --> Add-ins.
