Since Update 1803 of Windows 10 there is a big performance hit in Visio. The access to the Visio API is much slower than with older Windows versions. It can be easily reproduced using a small macro which reads/writes user cells of a shape several times (e.g. 1000 times in a loop).

We tried several versions of Visio It seems to be a problem of the Windows update.

We use the Visio API extensively and have big problems now. Can you help me?

I had 16 MB file a with 20 pages. I need to have a simple file where I have only one page left for sharing.
I select from menu "Delete pages..." select 19 of the pages, and press [Ok].
After that my CPU is running around 10+ min average 89% where Visio 2016 is on the top. Something is very wrong on this.

I watch movies and find that commercials are very much louder than I can stand!! Please make volume a&b so that I am react to the change in network volume.

The "Format Picture" / "Transparency" tool unacceptably blurs the subject image as it makes it transparent. This is a flaw with an important functionality and needs to be fixed. Visio 2006 performed this task perfectly. I look forward to the fix; thanks.

I use Office 365 64bit, and i cannot install visio, i use 64bit to open 1M row excel file so i wont go back to 32 bit.

As the title describes, when adding a callout to a shape, and then hiding the Callout layer that is automatically created through the Layer Properties screen will break the relation between the shape and the callout. So when you make the Callout layer visible again, the callout won't be linked to the shape anymore.
The same behavior occors when you add the target shape to another layer and hide that one.
This doesn't seem very practical as it renders one of the Layer systems features, hiding certain shapes/information when you don't want to see them, essentially useless.

ADD A BUTTON TO PRINTS ONLY THE PAGES THAT HAVE CHANGED

Before MS bought Visio I used it to track my companies PCs with a Visio Drawing inserted into an Excel spreadsheet. I could link PCs to a line on the Spreadsheet and when I needed to move a PC I could keep the inventory and location in the building up to date easily. Then MS bought it and within a few updates the compatibility between Visio and Excel degraded and I could not longer use Visio and Excel in that way. It remained degraded 'til the day I retired a couple of years ago.

I have used Visio since before MS bought it (when it was more compatible with Excel). I have looked up in help and tried to turn on the eccentricity handles using the help instructions dozens of times and the instructions do not work consistently. It would be great if you fixed that!

Fix Visio 2016 so that it doesn't crash when a user tries to save a file.

Currently all connection points become visible when attempting to glue a shape, regardless of whether the adjacent shapes are on invisible or locked layers
Those that are on hidden layers are however not gluable (good) but those on locked layers are (bad)
I suggest that these connection points should be invisible, unsnappable and ungluable for shapes on invisible and locked layers

Have "Save AutoRecover information every ## minutes" turned on by default

You can currently align top/middle/bottom, and right/center/left between two shapes. It would be nice to be able to align the right edge of one shape with the left of another, or top with bottom. Heck, how about the full matrix of alignment possibilities?

When there is a significant amount of data with a swim-lane, adding or moving an icon will cause the chart to expand, causing constant rework or "undoing" the change.

When dropping a connector on a page, the green alignment boxes flare up and cannot be over-ridden. There is a subtle "walk-through" flag in the Shape Sheet, but it has to be dealt with at that level. There should be a global toggle to turn these off.

I used to be able to click 4 times on text and have the individual word highlight & then Ctrl U to underline. What happened? Now I have to arrow around. Huge time waster.
