Have others found QuickBooks to be problematic as far as hangtime goes? I find that at tims I often have to sign out and back in, and then it still hangs for extended pe

I appreciate you using QuickBooks Online (QBO) for many years, @arkvalleyinfo. I can see how important it is for you to use QBO seamlessly. I'm here to share some troubleshooting steps to fix this issue.

QBO is a web-based service. Also, it relies on your computer or device’s processing power, the amount of available memory (RAM), and the bandwidth of your Internet connection to perform as intended.

Next, here are some ways to improve the performance of the site:

• Intuit recommends Chrome to get the best experience possible.
• Ensure your operating system is up to date.
• Verify your internet speed (bandwidth) is not limiting your QBO experience.

Kindly check out this article for the detailed steps: Why is my QuickBooks Online slow?

However, if the issue persists, I suggest logging into your account using a private browser/ incognito mode. Private browsing prevents cookies from being stored on your computer, making it a great place to identify browser issues. You can refer to these shortcut keys to open a private browser:

• Google Chrome: Ctrl + Shift + N
• Mozilla Firefox: Ctrl + Shift + P
• Microsoft Edge: Ctrl + Shift + P
• Safari: Command + Shift +N

If the private browsing session works, you’ll need to clear your browser’s cache to prevent unexpected behavior in the product. Otherwise, using other supported browsers can be a good alternative too.

Moreover, you can use this link to verify if there's an ongoing issue with QBO: https://status.quickbooks.intuit.com/

In addition, you can seek self-help articles on our QuickBooks help articles page to help you get your QuickBooks tasks done in no time.

Please keep me posted on how it goes after trying out the steps, andrew10. I’m always ready to lend a helping hand. Have a wonderful day ahead!
