Quicken Windows serially unresponsive

dc0063

Windows subscription. progressively no longer able to keep a session to accept downloads or process payments [bank bill pay] because the system basically freezes while bouncing between windows-or bouncing between 32 bit/64 bit. One with a border, one without in the same space, none showing the windows tab/system bar . And when trying any keystroke, the Windows Unresponsive dialog box appears for an instant and then leaves.
In looking at the Task Manager, there are 4 instances of windows host process. The only way to stop is to manually End Process. Validation nor re-boot was useful. System- I7, 15Gb, Win10, internet.
Have others had this experience and have you found a solution?
thanks

Nearly same issues here.  Takes forever for initial launch is especially problematic.  Between 30-60 seconds!

Hello @dc0063,    

I am sorry to hear about this problem with freezing and hanging. Thank you for inquiring about this here on the Quicken Community. 

Have you tried restarting your computer after this happens? You may additionally try uninstalling the Quicken software using the steps listed in this Support Article, then deleting Quicken from the Program Files (x86) folder. You may then reinstall the software after following those steps using the steps listed here.

I look forward to hearing about your results. 

Thank you,

Quicken Jared

Jared, in chasing a problem with the current update, I've reverted back to the previous version 42.21 which was experiencing this issue. Currently, the reverted file is not showing the symptoms as yet. I will continue to use in normal fashion and return on Monday to close or add info.
Thanks for your help here and in all other threads.

Jared, this issue is no longer apparent. Symptoms were slow transition between accounts with fleeting display of subledger, then to instability. None of these exist following the reversion. Booting didn't help but something did.

I spoke too soon. The scre3en freeze/flicker issue remains. Two consecutive fails, one on update, where I closed the program and then a second when moving to an account to manage new items - closed again. I recorded the screen actions of both; the second also includes task manager process page.
If of interest, provide method of uploading. They are short mp4 files, 20 and 90 Mg.
