I experienced the same issue on Windows 11. I tried reinstalling the app and changing the OS settings, but I couldn't resolve the problem.

@ryuta0710 I did same thing, try to run a new conversation. What happens is when we use same chat, chat with it for a long time and upload contents inside it (images, documents, etc) then it becomes heavy and reasoning happens slow.
I basically made a new chat and started interacting with it and after that it was faster.
