AutoCAD freezes or stalls when you turn Ortho mode on, possibly by pressing the F8 key.

 

Issue
AutoCAD freezes or stalls when you turn Ortho mode on, possibly by pressing the F8 key.


Cause
This issue seems to be resulting from a Windows 10 update.


Solution
You can resolve this issue easily with a quick toggle of the Temp Overrides system variable.

Type "TempOverrides" in the Command line, and press Enter.

When prompted to enter a value, type 0 and press Enter. You should now be able to turn Ortho mode on without freezing AutoCAD.
