I had an issue with Postman desktop app and the issue was it became so slow that made it almost useless, I had to restart it after making each request.
Make sure you are using the latest version of Postman. If not, update your app to the latest version and then try to start the app again. If you're able to view and access the Postman menu (see screenshot below), disable hardware acceleration in the Postman menu in macOS, or the Help menu in Windows or Linux.
Finally, I found a Postman support thread that solved my problem. All you have to do is to add a parameter POSTMAN_DISABLE_GPU = true in your Windows environment variable for your Account (or system account).
If Postman fails to send your request, you may be experiencing connectivity issues. Check your connection by attempting to open a page in your web browser. Some firewalls may be configured to block non-browser connections. If this happens you will need to contact your network administrators for Postman to work.
Today, we are excited to share that we are taking another big step in this direction with our desktop app's latest release, Postman v8. This newest version of our desktop app gives you a consistent, better user experience.
To add to this I had a similar issue but it was because I had turned on the Postman Interceptor which was feeding all my browser requests into Postman history. Deleting Postman history fixed all my issues.
Just wanted to leave this here for someone else in case that is their issue as I couldnt find anything on it when I was looking
I found the cause of the issue and though that might be helpful for others as well. It was caused by Postman Chrome extension! I removed the extension and Postman desktop as now back to normal. Hope it was helpful.
I have the same issue. None of the above solution works. Basically it has something to do with the GPU. I tried upgrade the Nvidia video driver but still no luck.
