Quicken 2014 & 2015 display slowness
Quicken 2014 & 2015 display slowly on my Dell XPS laptop. At program startup, the Quicken window flickers, flashes, and jumps around before finally settling down. Resizing Quicken windows lags badly, with the window frame taking seconds to catch up with the mouse.
My understanding is that for QW2014, Intuit moved from a really old version of Microsoft .NET (like version 2) to a newer version (I think 4). This screwed up Quicken really badly, with all sorts of issues surfacing in addition to display slowness. (E.g., CTRL keys stop working, focus gets lost, etc.)
Not every user sees all the symptoms. Apparently, most users don't see the flickering & flashing that I see. More users see repaint slowness and focus issues.
The Quicken Community has no answer for why this has been happening for the past 2 years of Quicken versions. I wonder if anyone here on the Win7 forum might have a clue.
Hopefully, my hardware configuration will show when you click on it. My Dell has 2 graphics processors, and they both exhibit the same problem with Quicken.
