Thank you so much! That's just what I wanted to do. In this case, It appears I need to do that when first installing the program with the exe. I tried to use the Legacy update exe but, evidently, it doesn't put that option into effect when used this way. :-(

I don't want to reinstall the program again unless there is a way to get all my settings back the way they were, without having to do it one-by-one. I'm very curious to know if there is such a way.

Best wishes to all.
Joseph

You might try running Legacy as Admin all the time. ??Here is how to make that happen:

Always run as admin via Compatibility Properties: Right-click on an exe > Properties > Compatibility tab > Check the box to "Run this program as an administrator."

???Thank you Alan, and you other good people! I really appreciate knowing of your experiences with this issue.

In thinking about it more, I remember always (for years now) noticing that the Windows updates to the program ".NET Framework" was always involved, and it is the same this time. This time It is listed as:
".NET Framework 3.5 and 4.8 for Version 1903 for x64 (KB4524100)"

I already backed off Windows 10 Version 1909 for the same problem. Legacy worked okay after that, but with this latest Windows 10 update, I allowed the updates to try again, and it made things worse so I removed them again, therefore I think some of my problems could relate somehow to the way I handled the updates this time.

Since at this time I can always get Legacy to work well by opening it by way of the "Run as Administrator" option on the Legacy desktop Icon, and unless more help comes to us for this issue, I'm going to work this way, and try not to let it bug me for a while. :-)

Thanks again all.

I have been having very similar problems (I reported on them to this group 8 weeks ago)

My family file is just over 800MB and contains:

Number of Individuals: 144067
Number of Families: 44941
Master locations: 20761
Master Sources: 1245
Citations: 759965
Master events: 197212
used by individuals: 196591
used by marriages: 621
Master media items: 73894
times linked: 303918

With the latest upgrade of Windows 10 and Legacy 9, on my PC (8GB of RAM), Legacy runs much slower than it used to and I get a ??? Run Time Error ???3035 System resource exceeded ??? messages ALWAYS during Check-Repair and OFTEN when running multi-Condition search queries. While running Check Repair, Task manager indicates that my computers resources are being used at nowhere near full capacity, with or without all other non-essential programs closed and Security software disabled.

In Windows SAFE mode, Check Repair and the multi-Condition search queries always complete successfully, but Legacy still runs much slower than it used to.

With the latest upgrade of Windows 10 and Legacy 9, on my Laptop (with less resources, ie CPU and Memory), Check Repair and the multi-Condition search queries always complete successfully, but Legacy still runs much slower than it used to (eg check repair took 30 minutes, it used to take 3-4 minutes)

Tested going back to earlier versions of Legacy - made no difference.

Sent my full family file to Legacy support - Check Repair completed perfectly in about 3-4 minutes (They tested with the latest build of Windows 10). They said that other users had reported the same problem, but in no case had they been able to replicate the problem on their computers. Legacy Support stated that they believe that the problem is most likely a conflict with another program.

I also tried exporting my family file to a new Legacy database and running Check-Repair on that, again without success.

If I remove all source and media link records from my file (and compact my file), it reduces the file size to 200MB, but Check Repair still crashes at the same point. So, it looks like size of the family file alone, number of media links or number of sources, are not critical.

If I export a subset of about 50,000 persons from my tree to a new tree, then compact the new file, Check Repair and the multi-Condition search queries USUALLY complete successfully, but Legacy still runs much slower than it used to. This suggests to me that the number of persons in the tree may be a factor, but clearly not the only one.

It's hard to enjoy using Legacy under these conditions ????

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy not working after windows 10 updates

Thank you very much! My file is about 625 MB, so it's not over 1 GB.

I'm starting to catch on that this problem is maybe not so unexpected now, even for a file somewhat smaller than a gigabyte in size.

It would be nice to know if more can be found about this issue. The Legacy program was working fine before this latest Windows 10 version update.
