Issue with Simulation module and Win11 version 22H2
17/01/2023 (latest update: 15/05/2023)
An update to Win11 (version 22H2 or higher) can potentially block the ability to run the Simulation module (the progress stays at 0%) in Magics 26.1 or lower.
The problem has been resolved with Magics 27.0 or higher.
If using Magics 27.0 (or higher), or Win10 (version 21H1 or later), or Win11 (version 22H1 or lower) is not an option, a workaround for this would be to ensure that the Simulation process has a higher priority than the Magics process. This can be adapted in the Task Manager:
Option 1 (=preferred): increase the priority of the simulation module (Agent.exe) from Normal to Above normal
Option 2: decrease the priority of Magics (Magics.exe) from Normal to Below normal
