Literally what Gossip does every time I try to use it. If optimize it and disable everything, I can even use it, but it looks uglier than the motif software. If it had no GUI at all and ran in a terminal with pseudo-graphics it would be prettier 

 I've heard that from another Windows user about Gossip, I don't know what is going on then.

Maybe try Notedeck and see if the same problem shows up? 

 The last time I saw Windows was 25 years ago. I doubt that system would handle Gossip or any GUI client for Nostr.
