"freshly created geodatabase" What errors are throwing in the SQL Logs?  Run a trace and SDE intercept.

Crash reports usually get attention at Tech Support, which is where you'll find a solution for this. If there is an existing bug, they'll attach you to it, which would speed up a fix.  ... View more

hMMMM I'm beginning to think this is such a hot idea. I'm not interested in failover per-se, I'm interested in upgrad-at-my leisure: Take one server down, upgrade it, take the other down, upgrade.....but that's not going to work with the data store on a drive share. ... View more

Windows update, IT messing with Firewalls. That 404 error is a Web Server issue. How is your ArcGIS Server App Pool authenticating? ... View more

Very unscientific, but when I open a MXD, where all data sources are on a local (same subnet) file server (FGDB feature classes)....about 1:30 is when I can interact with the UI. 2.4, same mxd imported into a Pro project that ultimately has 55-ish maps and 30 layouts, but when I saved the project I had only one map open. Same data sources (remember it's the same map as above, modified in no way). About 2:15 ish just for the software to start and open...still can't interact with the UI until 2:50-ish..more than a minute longer than Arc. OP, I'm curious to see the output from https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/procmon, set the filter to ProcessName = ArcGISPro.exe. In my example above, I see two obvious "waits": of 1,468,784 "events" related to opening this project, 978,862 are ReadFile C:\PROJECTS\TOPO_MAP_IMPORT\TOPO_MAP_IMPORT.aprx and start at 9:25:58 and end at 9:27:53 (about 2 minutes), and all the ones I checked were calling zlibwapi.dll, which is a packing/unpacking utility that I think is baked into Powerbuilder, which leads me to believe, in my I-have-no-idea-what-I'm-talking about decompilation of a software process, that some sort of decompression thingy is going on when the aprx is being read, and that's the performance hit. The other long wait was related to reads and writes to the FGDB (schema locks). Tried a new project with just that one map (again, same map, same data sources, no changes at all), same poor performance on opening. And yes, no basemap is the default,  ... View more

Unfortunately, Dell laptops (recently, last 2 years) switched the docking station hardware on their laptops and docks, which effectively rendered them non-working (Thunderbolt). ... View more

Your situation is https://community.esri.com/thread/236789-crashing-when-changing-map-data-frame-within-a-layout, as for the OP's situation, I too am seeing this at 2.4, albeit intermittently: if I open a saved project where the project was saved with a map open, opening the project takes 2-15 minutes, regardless of the source data in the map, and all of the ribbon buttons are greyed out.   ...

For your first image, welcome to the club (the wait while Pro slowly crawls every folder club). https://community.esri.com/thread/224063-arcgis-pro-slow-to-load-foldersfiles might have some useful context; Second image, welcome to the first time you open a GP tool and wait club: not sure I'm using the right phrase here, but I think it's something to do with "Building the GP cache" that causes GP tools to "hang" when opening them.  Last image: add your use-case to https://community.esri.com/ideas/16481-see-fields-while-scrolling-through-attribute-table-in-arcpro and https://community.esri.com/ideas/13727-scrolling-the-attribute-table-in-arcgis-pro For 1&2, recommend calling tech support. ...

This has long been possible with Trimble devices, where we often occupy the only point where we can get a good signal, then shoot building corners (under roof overhang bad signal). Limiting the functionality to a single vendor is not a reasonable solution. Until the software can support vendor-agnostic offsets, we'll have to stick with the Trimble, not Collector, workflow.  ...
