How did you notice this?  How can I check 2022?


 

see attached screenshot for reference, and see instructions below.

 

This is how you can check the number of CPU cores currently used:

 

1) Open Windows Task manager > go to the Performance tab (make sure the graph display each single core, if not right-click on the graph > Change graph to > Logical Processors

 

2) Close all other apps and browers to reduce CPU utilization to minimum.

 

3) Start a long and high processing Quickbooks Desktop task: for example Employees > Payroll Setup (this gives you time to observe CPU utilization.)

 

4) Observe the CPU performance graph. As you can see from my screenshot, my multi-core CPU only show 1 core utilized. That's why, even with the most powerful computer setup, Quickbooks Desktop 2021 is always going to be slow.
