Incorrect network settings, such as the wrong DNS server or corrupt network adapters, can slow your internet speed or disrupt connectivity.
4. Allow Application through Firewall
Windows Defender may block or delete files it deems suspicious or that consume high memory. Allow Cricut Design Space through the firewall settings to prevent blocks.
5. Avoid VPN (if applicable)
VPNs can interfere with application performance, so if you’re using one, consider disconnecting it to see if that resolves the issue.

Slow internet connection speeds can sometimes be improved by switching to Google DNS, which can aid in resolving issues with Cricut Design Space.

A proxy server acts as a gateway between your computer and the internet, similar to a VPN. It can cause network connectivity issues if enabled.
