A few months ago I started working on Toon Boom Harmony 20 Premium but lately I am experiencing problems. Basically the program becomes very slow, freezes and unresponsive. This happens when I work on the color layer, if I remove it the program works without problems.
The pc however continues to work without problems and GPU and Ram have values in the norm.
What can i do?

Your animation is very artistic. Is the hair and shading (neck/arm) all done with the pencil, that is a-lot of line work. So are you trying to draw (pencil tool) in the colore (drawing layer) that is when the Harmony freezes? If you draw in any other layer Harmony runs fine? Have you tried making a new layer and replacing the colore layer.
Is your Harmony 20 updated to the latest version 20.0.5, build 20.0.5.17671?
Actually, yes. If I draw in any other layer Harmony runs fine. What does it mean? Unfortunately, I’m not very familiar yet. Should I activate the color layer?
No, I haven’t tried to making a new layer and replacing the colore layer. How can I do it?
Learning about the colour layer and anything else for that matter is up to you. Check out learn.toonboom.com or search youtube.
Maybe try resaving your scene using ‘save as’ this way you still have a backup of your original scene file. Then delete the colore (drawing layer). I just select the layer and hit ‘-’ minus button just above it. Try making a fresh drawing layer (new name), and see how it works out.
So, I delete the drawing layer “colore” and I make a new one but it happens again. After a while, start slowing down. I mean, when I draw the stroke doesn’t appear immediately. What can I do?
It could be the artist style you are doing with complexity of the line art you are doing with (hair/arm shading/crosshatching). You might want to try moving your project from vector art to Bitmap art layers.
