Please wait while Windows configures SOLDWORKS PDM Client
2024 SP0.1

left-click any folder in my File Explorer it shows a message which says Please wait while Windows configures SOLIDWORKS PDM. Then it pops up another window saying that the function you are trying to use is in a CD-ROM or other removable disk that is not available. Insert the “SOLIDWORKS PDM Client” disk and click OK. Even if I click on Cancel, this process keeps repeating in an endless loop every time I restart my computer or left-click anything on the File Explorer.

Solution:

Step 1
Download the latest version of DeepUninstaller from the official website and log in.
Download link: deepuninstaller.com

Step 2
Click on “Uninstall,” select SolidWorks and the version, then click Start Cleanup.

You can restart the computer and install SolidWorks in a new installation directory.
