Issue: 
Revit 2025 hangs while opening a project file after installing Autodesk Desktop Connector version 2027.0.0.29.

Causes:
There is a compatibility issue between Autodesk Desktop Connector 2027 and Revit 2025 and earlier versions.     

Solution:
There are two ways to mitigate the issue.

 

Option A: Update Autodesk Desktop Connector Version 2027.1.0.59 or later.

·         Run Reset Utility Tool before update.

·         Follow:

Option B: Workaround

1.     Exit Autodesk Desktop Connector.

2.     Start Revit and open the project file.

3.     After the project is open, launch Autodesk Desktop Connector.

4.     Open Manage Links and refresh the links.

 

 

For stability reasons, I recommend update to the version above 2027.0.0.29.
