Netbeans IDE problems in old pc (Java)

[TheMaskedMan]

I have an old laptop: i5 4210u, nvida geforce 820m, 8gb ram,and sata ssd(Windows 10 64 bit)

And i have problems with netbeans IDE:

1. It is often stuck, i can not click anything and i can not close it, i must end it in task manager.
2. It is also often fail to load to make a new project.
3. And it is also often JFrame Form is stuck at loading, can not load what i made before, it is also often the variable that i change does not change in source code, for examle: i change jButton to tSave, and in source code still give red code, it still read jButton not tSave.

i have updated jdk and netbeans IDE. i remember when the netbeans IDE icon was a blue box, the old version worked perfectly.

it is so frustating, i need help to fix these problems.

The new version of the IDE is probably doing to much in the background for the old CPU. You could try disabling things like background compilation, if possible. Or maybe try a more lightweight editor, like VS Code with Java plugins instead?

i do not know how to disable those things, and if i use vs code i will struggle abit hard to make a gui program, since im still a beginner
