  I tried to re-arrange a couple of Favorites today, and after I select Save, I get an hourglass that doesn't go away
  
  I rebooted and when I relaunch QAP, I get this error screen:
     
  
  and the program runs normally. I try again and get the same result.
  The program runs pretty normally with the older settings file except when
  I run an export, it runs very slowly. About a Favorite every 1.5 seconds.
  
  Very weird. Let me know if you want to see my settings file.
  It has several entries of:
  
  Favorite653=Z
  Favorite654=Z
  
  which seem odd.
  
  Thank you.

  Hi Dale,
  
  It happened suddenly? It looks like a disk write issue. Did you try to reboot your PC?

  This is normal. "Z" is a marker for end of menu. Two "Z" means end of two submenus.

  Hello Jean,
  
  Yes, the problem just started yesterday on my travel laptop when I tried to rearrange a couple of favorites.
  I have rebooted several times and it keep happening.
  
  I will see what happens on my desktop when I get home.
  
  I used an ini file from 2022 and it worked fine so it looks like an issue with the ini file. I have emailed it to you.
  
  Thanks, Dale

  Thanks Dale for reporting this issue. The issue is not specific to your ini file.
  
  After investigation, it seems to be caused by a recent Windows Defender update as I explain in this thread.
