Find and Replace taking too long

Every month I search all my accounts for cleared transactions, and I use Find/Replace to change the Cleared Status to blank.

It usually takes a bit of time, as it's processing 30-70 transactions.

This month, there's 43 transactions - and it's taking FAR too long. The mouse cursor flickers every now and then, so it looks like it's "working," but I can't minimize or move the dialog - it's just stuck.

I can probably shut down Quicken, but doing that mid-edit scares me a bit.

Has there been a change in the way mass-edits are being done? Anyone else noticing this?

… So it did just finish - but it took significantly longer (with no progress being indicated anywhere) than usual.

    For what types of accounts are you doing this?

    And why? The customary "end-state" for a transaction would be "Reconciled" not Blank.

    For banking/credit card accounts. I have never liked that downloaded transactions are marked as cleared, because I'm paranoid and don't consider them cleared until I clear them. So I set them all to blank and they get reconciled when I actually reconcile the account. Just a personal preference as to how I handle making sure that everything that gets downloaded gets reviewed before I assume it's accurate.

    @Quicken Anja My data file is stored locally, in %userprofile%\Quicken. No significant changes to my computer, I did not attempt to troubleshoot because the edits took so long I had to quit Quicken and move onto my other tasks for the day.

    Ignore the version info in my (currently outdated) signature line - I'm on R65.29, build 27.1.65.29. (I'll correct my signature)
