Quicken won't finish loading

Question

Last night, when I tried to launch Quicken (Windows 10 x64), it wouldn't complete loading; I got the application window outline and a couple of menu items, but that's all, plus the progress wheel which never stopped spinning.  I shut it down and re-launched several times, but to no effect.  I hoped it might be more accommodating after my system shut down and rebooted this morning, but no dice.  Any suggestions?

Is the file size growing and growing while Quicken hangs on opening?

I have had this happen before.  Hopefully you already have a backup file of your data. Uninstall Quicken Classic and reinstall it.  Then import your saved data file.
