no comment in almost a year.  assuming that the problem was fixed with the opengl switch and closing report.

You do not need to reinstall. There is a small utility program
called "Opengl Switcher"  which is installed together with octave.

After reinstalling with the Opengl switcher, both issues seem to have gone away.  I don't suppose there's a way to switch on the fly without having to reinstall?

WRT p.2 -- change the opengl driver (there is a "Opengl Switcher"
utility in the octave installation) from "System" to "Software".

p.1 is something different and may indeed related to https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?59711
and we need to investigate further (I cannot reproduce it on my machine). Do you have any network shares? Anti-virus? Is it a stock Windows installation, or it is some kind of modification to work in a specific corporate environment?

It's not clear that this addresses the two issues reported here.  The first one being copying a file (maybe it's related, although the link above seems to discuss changing directories).  And the second issue is that saving a file as a pdf locks up Octave entirely.

Are these related to the link posted above?

After upgrading to 8.1.0, I seem to be having performance issues that did not exist on my machine with pervious versions.  I am unsure if these two issues are related.

Example is included below with descriptions:

1. A file called junk.txt is moved to a folder. This will typically take around 100 seconds in 8.1.0. Older versions of Octave would perform this task nearly instantaneously.

2. Trying to save the plot as a pdf will completely lockup Octave every time. I have left it running for 15 minutes or so and must kill the process.  It does open the plot and it does create the folder without issues. It also creates a blank pdf file with the appropriate name in the directory.  If I run the script using Octave CLI 8.1.0 a message appears while it is running "GL2PS warning: Unknown token in buffer".

  dateandtime=clock;%Parse Date and Time to Create Folder
  yyyy=dateandtime(1);
  mm=dateandtime(2);
  dd=dateandtime(3);
  hh=dateandtime(4);

  sec=floor(dateandtime(6));
  folder=[num2str(yyyy) '_' num2str(mm) '_' num2str(dd) '-' num2str(hh) 'h' num2str(min) 'm' num2str(sec) 's'];

  mkdir(folder);
  copyfile('junk.txt',folder);

  h1=figure(1);
  x=1:10;
  y=x.^2;
  plot(x,y);

  saveas(h1,fullfile(folder,"testplot"),"pdf")
