Why is Quickbooks so slow?

I hear how this impacts your workflow, Paula. I understand how frustrating it can be when things don’t respond as quickly as you need. There are a few things you should check to ensure you're getting the most out of your QuickBooks experience.

I appreciate the effort you took in checking what's causing this on your end. It's also important to consider how internet browsers can affect the performance of QuickBooks. It's designed and optimized to work best with the latest browsers and operating systems, as older systems generally do not receive regular browser updates, which can negatively impact performance.

I recommend accessing QuickBooks through a supported web browser. Here’s a list of compatible browsers:

• Google Chrome: version 78 or newer
• Mozilla Firefox: version 76 or newer
• Microsoft Edge: version 79 or newer
• Safari: version 12 or newer (Mac only)
• Opera: version 68 or newer
