It’s not the SketchUp version. That’s been clearly explained in this thread. You would expect that a company like Microsoft would be able to put out updates that don’t make things difficult for its users. This problem affects more than just SketchUp users, too.
Also, as has been explained, there is a patch/script that can be run to help mitigate this problem for users of SketchUp 2018. It doesn’t work with older versions, however.
It worked for me too re-installing the driver every win updates but the wth last windows update someting heppened and trying to reinstall intel drivers does not work anymorr
I’m on SU 2018 Pro and the issue appeared a few weeks back on my laptop running Windows 10 Home with Intel® HD Graphics 4000. The patch did not work for me; nor did updating or rolling back graphics card drivers. Rolling back Security Update KB4056892 solved it.
Stopped W10 from reinstalling KB4056892 by setting my Wi-Fi network connections as metered:
Select Start > Settings > Network & Internet.
Select Wi-Fi > Advanced options > Set as metered connection.
Of course this is not a permanent fix; would expect Trimble to have a chat with MS to sort this issue.
@PetterK, in SU go to Window > Preferences > OpenGL and set anti-aliasing to 0x. Any change?
The Pro version of Win 10 has more options to delay/control system updates.
Thanks but uninstalling KB4056892 fixed the issues with the selection tool on my laptop, so I’ll keep the anti-aliasing at 4x for now. 
Hello, so basically I have the same trouble and already read the solutioun based on the newest issue. I already uninstall KB4056892 but nothings happen. It still slow for 5 seconds. What should I do? Fyi, when I checked on my update history, it said that i failed to install KB4056892. Thank you
That command isn’t formatted right.
Correct version is:
"C:\Program Files\SketchUp\SketchUp 2018\jsonpatcheditor" Preferences WorkaroundDrawXorRectUseGLFlushNotFlushDraw b true
Sorry, I read that wrong. I though the “Preferences” part had merged into “jsonpatcheditor” - but that was in another thread. (Too many tabs open…)
I had the same problem. Now I solved this problem in my way. You also can try it below way!!
You need to understand your situation.
Solution 1. Re-install the NVIDIA driver.
Solution 2. How to use the Intel UHD 620 driver??
Yes, now sketchup is working fine but I still cannot use the sketchup on tablet mode. There will be no mean that I bought this Surfacebook 2. So, I found another solution for this.
I posted this over 6 months ago and decided to check in to see if anyone solved this problem. Apparently it’s not solved, so I ask the question again. Why is it when I come across the slow selection tool process that, if I restart my computer, the problem goes away. Without any changes. Without deleting any Windows Updates. Without changing or updating my graphics driver. Just restarting and it works fine. I’ve been using SketchUp continuously for the past 6 months and other than the annoyance of occasionally restarting my computer, it’s been working. Anyone?
it comes and goes corresponding to windows updates.
Hi just thought I’d share this by right clicking on the sketchup logo on the desktop and selecting “run as administrator” my lag problem disappeared
I tried that but it doesn’t work for me. I just hit restart and the lag is gone.
Did SketchUp 2017 ever work on Bootcamp? It’s not technically supported for Bootcamp. Are you running Parallels and if so, is it the version that has at least GL 3.0? I’ve seen issues with that before.
Also, have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling SketchUp 2017? After High Sierra, everyone needed to re-download SketchUp.
A few solutions for this for Windows users, with separate solutions for SketchUp 2017 and SketchUp 2018:
For 2017: This is often a computer issue caused by a faulty Windows Update that messed with the graphics card settings. So far most people have been able to fix the problem with the steps below:
#1 Fix: (easier than #2, but only fixes it 20% of the time) If you have multiple video cards, you may need to set which one SketchUp uses, please follow the steps found here: https://www.howtogeek.com/175281/how-to-force-graphics-options-in-pc-games-with-nvidia-amd-or-intel-graphics/
Now try SketchUp again, and if that didnt fix it, try #2:
#2 Fix (which more frequently fixes it): Update your video card driver using the steps below.
A. If there’s an Intel graphics card (pretty much always), follow this link for instructions: Updating Intel Driver - Google Slides.
B. If it’s not Intel:
For SketchUp 2018:
With SketchUp Pro 2018, we have a way to fix the issue with the Select tool caused by the recent Windows Update. Using the link below, you’ll find a script that helps correct the slow cursor issue that you’ve come across. Please note that this is set at the User Account level so it will need to be set for every user on a given computer. Please fill out this form so we can gather more information about this issue. The fix is at the end of the form: SketchUp Selection Lag in Windows 10
(that fix only works for 2018, not 2017)
Hi,
It was a simple matter of installing it “as administrator.” I did delete it, and then reinstall it, but I understand that I didn’t have to delete it.
While I’ve not worked on it as much as I was on my Mac’s OS, I just opened it, and it’s working fine.
FYI: The screen and all the icons and text are larger on my Mac. I now have to squint to work on SKU on Windows! Can’t win for losing? Maybe there is a way to increase the images on Windows that I don’t know of!
And I am using Bootcamp.
Respectfully,

It is called Display Scaling, and it is a Windows system setting.
SketchUp supports up to 150% display scaling.
Once again. Windows update > Malfunctioning SU select tool etc.
Restarted 3 or 4 times doing no other massaging and it’s working again.
It works!
THANK YOU
KB4074588 seems to have mitigated the slow selection tool process. Am I the only one who sees this?
