AutoCAD 2015/2016 Freezing Up…

We had couple of customers calling about their AutoCAD’s freezing up at multiple times randomly during the day; after trying multiples things, here are the changes we did to make it work:
1. Autodesk software needs full permission to:
 

Registry Entries:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\AUTODESK

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\AUTODESK
 

Folders:
The folder the program was installed in, such as:
C:\program files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 201x (for example)
 

Windows 7 / Windows 8 / Windows 10:
C:\Users\All Users\Autodesk
C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Autodesk
C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Autodesk Shared
 

2. Disable “Show Home Base on Startup” in the Registry Editor:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\DirectConnect\RegistryVersion20.0\System\Preferences\File

Look for: 
ShowHomeBaseOnStartup and change it to cero (0)
