Visio 2013 VERY slow

Go into File | Options | Advanced | General | File Locations.  Make sure that your My Shapes  folder is not on a shared folder or drive that has a lot of non shape files in it.

I do not know what time it was fixed. Have you returned to nearly satisfactory levels? (It may be displayed with slight distortion) it was too late to fix it ...

No words.. just emotions...

MICROSOFT, we paid for your software which is broken for many years - are you going to do something?

Now I have Visio 2016 x64 on top Lenovo x260 notebook with Win10 x64 - and still same problem!

Jay, this is the wrong place to make this sort of complaint. As you can see this is 4 year old question, with no answer from MS.  MS does not reply to 99.999% of questions like yours.

This forum is intended for asking questions that can be answered. We are not MS employees and cannot answer your complaint.

MS has created a better place to voice this sort of complaint. That is a bunch of sub-sites on the UserVoice forum. There MS staff really are monitoring postings and even taking action on some of them.

"UserVoice.com" - MS Suggestion box sites

You can use the Office or Windows 10 "feedback" (**)applets but then your suggestions just fall into a black hole. You get no feedback from MS about your feedback.

---

A better place to submit this type of feedback the "UserVoice" forum. You can submit suggestions like this to the forum either by "voting" and commenting on a similar existing suggestion or by creating a new suggestion for others to vote and comment on.

---

It is also a good idea to provide cross posted links.  Put a link back to this answers.com posting on UserVoice, and add a reply here with a link to your specific posting on UserVoice.

This next link has a longer collection of MS UserVoice.com sites:

Go to UserVoice, either through specific links I’ve provided below or create your own suggestions there. That is where MS is looking specifically for this type of user feedback to bring them back to reality from what-ever lala-land they are working in when they make these "improvements".  Comments (and votes) like these in UserVoice helped to convince MS to roll back the "phat QAT" buttons in 2016 and to at least partially undo the 2016 changes to the way the Pen input works.

---

Please do copy the comments you've made here and paste them into comments in UserVoice. If you make a new suggestion, copy the link to your suggestion and post it back on this question so other people with the same problem can vote for it and comment on it. (You’ll get faster action that way.) Please get all of your friends and co-workers who use Office to vote for your issue!

This blog has a picture to show MS really is looking at UserVoice sites:
