Slow response when editing register transactions

Question

Quicken 2020 takes 2-3 seconds response time to accept and save any and every edit to check/bank register entries.  I've read previous support. It's not a VPN issue and my Log file is 1kb and has only minimal entries.   However, I do have ten years worth of data stored and it's 142,650 KB large.  Any advice?

@Katherine Cole Have you followed Tyka's suggestion, that's immediately above your post?

When you do TOOLS, Account List, do you have investment account(s) with a large number of transactions (presumably some/many are closed positions)?

most of the time it takes between 20 and 60 seconds to enter/change one line item.  that means to categories one month's of downloaded transactions can take me more than 30 minutes.  this is absurd.

Hello @Philip von Gontard

Thank you for taking the time to visit the Community to report this issue, although I apologize that you have not received a response.If you have not done so already, I would recommend running the Validate & Repair tool on the data file from the File menu > File Operations > Validate & Repair option.

In the Validate File window that opens, click the top box to "validate file" and then click OK.

When the validation completes, a data log will open in Notepad, please let us know if any errors or issues are found/repaired, and when ready close and re-open Quicken.

Please let me know what you find!
