Please provide more details about your Quicken data file.
I'd like to know if you have account registers where a single account is approaching or exceeding 16,000 transactions.
What is the file size, in KB, as shown by Windows File Explorer?
I'd also like to see the "File Information" window (See below)
Is any cloud backup software (Dropbox, MS OneDrive, etc.) actively accessing your Quicken data file while Quicken is running?
What is the complete path and file name of your Quicken data file (e.g. C:\Users\username\Documents\Quicken\QDATA.QDF)?
How much total RAM do you have installed? How much of the available RAM is in use? Task Manager will give you this information. 80% or higher?
What version of Windows are you running?
About file size and number of transactions:
You can find out how many transactions you have in your data file by doing this:
- Click Tools / Account List. This should tell you how many transactions you have in each of your accounts in an optional column, "# of Transactions".
If this column is not shown in the Account List, click the Options button at the bottom of the Account List window, then click "Number of Transactions" to add the column.- File Information: Click Help in the Menu Bar. CTRL+click About Quicken and it'll give you a File Information box. Please capture an image snapshot of this File Information box and attach it here.
The Windows Snipping Tool (available with Windows 7 and newer) can be used to capture a partial screen image and save it to a file of file type PNG, JPG, or GIF only.To attach the image here please review

Hi, @bruciebabe ,thanks for your answer.Biggest problem about Quicken which I can see from your response is the location of your Quicken data file.Windows, newer versions beginning with Windows 7, IIRC, do not allow the storage of data files of any type within the Program Files folder structure. You should be (or have been) getting nasty messages from Windows about that fact.Please shut down Quicken and move your data file to C:\Users\username\Documents\Quicken. When done, double-click the file in its new location to start Quicken using it (and memorizing its new location)Let's see if that makes Quicken behave a little better. For better performance, it might also be a good idea to shut down the one or the other running program that is not immediately needed.
