Slow performance on filtering

Help please!  I've built several QlikView files, that are over a year old....  but for the last week or so I've really been struggling with the speed of the content within the files.  e.g. filtering is taking between 10-40 secs each time to even bring up the list for me to filter by.  If I move a graph from one place to another it takes about 10-20 secs to move, if I make changes to the expression or change anything in a graph it takes 10-20 secs to show the change....etc.  I'm looking at one of the files as an example & I've tried excluding lines from the script, I'm moved the apps onto my desktop, I've had more memory given on the laptop, I've only included 2021 data rather than 2019/2020 data, I've rebuilt the QlikView visual dashboard - all to see if this helps....I just cant understand what has changed.   I have 2 tabs on my script - 1 of which is the mapping data for lookups, the other is the data set.  Please does anyone know what may of happened?

Something essential within your datamodel may have changed so that there are much more records and/or missing keys / broken links and/or any cartesian calculations happens or something similar. This means you need to check your datamodel if all tables/fields/fieldvalues are there and are like expected.

Beside this take a look on the installed windows-updates because there were lastly some issues, see:

Thanks Marcus - I've asked IT to take a look at the window update issue as it so happened that the laptop had an update the night before.... maybe this could be it?  I have checked the data model & because its not just one QlikView file makes me think that its not the data  (possibly)

That this happens to multiple applications doesn't mean that's not related to the data because quite often they use the same / similar qvd's respectively logics from where the data are loaded and how are they extracted/transformed.

For example if data are loaded with: t: load * from x; there may an essential field be missing and/or any additionally ones - both may not result in an script-error but in invalid loadings/joins/data-structures. Quite similar if the data-quality changed or there were adjustments to the interpreting-variables or ... even quite small changes may have a huge impact.
