Microsoft Dynamics GP is Slow on Startup

If GP seems unusually slow when starting up, it may be caused by reminders you have set.

Upon startup, GP searches through the data for each reminder. Therefore if you have several reminders set on your Home screen, and/or if your reminders comb through a large amount of data, it can slow down GP’s startup significantly.

A couple of signs that reminders may be the cause:
– It takes you much longer to log into GP than it does your coworkers logging into the same database.
– GP seems to be the only program experiencing the slowdown – other programs do not take as long to start up.

To test this, remove the reminders from your GP Home screen and restart. (You can find step-by-step directions on how to remove GP reminders at https://www.njevity.com/blog/how-remove-reminders-gp-dynamics.) If the reminders are the problem, you will notice a significant improvement in startup time.
