I installed new update today and after doing so on my windows 10 Os, it takes a lot longer to load up and when I close out of it it justs hangs up with the please wait in a yellow box splash screen. I have to go into task manager and close out of it. It still takes a long time to shut down, but finally does. I uninstalled and reinstalled, but still does not work.Anyway I can revert back to previous version?

The latest versions will rebuild thumbnails so you are probably just not waiting for it to rebuild them: the yellow please wait is an indication that you are simply dumping it before it is done building thumbs.  If you wait for it to complete building the thumbnails once, it'll be fine from that point forward.

Thanks for your help. I never had this problem when I have updated Qimage Ultimate. Your reply made me think and I had a large folder  of images that it would load. I ended up moving all the
images out of that folder to another one and started from scratch. Qimage now loads quick and shuts down quick. Many thanks. I love this software and have used it for many many years.
