FWIW, I had the same experience - i.e., the message "Gnucash has stopped
working" after installing 2.6.18 on a 64 bit Windows 8.1 desktop and a
64 bit Windows 10 laptop (both HP machines). A slow response to a large
report was not the problem. On each machine, I waited in vain for 10 to
15 minutes for a simple two page Balance Sheet report.
My solution? Revert back to 2.6.16 which is where I'll stay for now.

Stan,
I am sorry that your experience with GnuCash has not been favorable.
I suspect that you may not have gotten the correct release of 2.6.19 for
windows as I think there was a glitch early on that caused the crashing
when opening reports that you mention. I believe the bug that you were
trying to follow is very rare if it ever happens in Windows 10 or even
Windows 7. It was more common in XP and Vista. You could try downloading
a fresh copy of GnuCash and re-installing it again or use this link:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/gnucash/files/gnucash%20%28stable%29/2.6.19/gnucash-2.6.19-setup.exe/download.
Before you do that, tho, read the rest of this message...
Some others have reported that reports are very slow to open in that
release.
I have not migrated to 2.6.19 myself, I am staying on release 2.6.18. It
is also slow with very large files, but I do not have any issues with
reports. Thus, I would suggest downloading and installing release 2.6.18.
It is available here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/gnucash/files/gnucash%20%28stable%29/2.6.18/
As far as trying to find scheduled transactions in the ledger, they will
not appear there until after they have been entered into the account
registers by the Since Last Run assistant. The Future Scheduled
Transactions Summary gives a clue that you have some coming up, but i
personally do not like that report. I use the Scheduled Transaction Editor
to see what is coming up soon.
If you have other issues, please bring them up here, as there are several
developers and users here that are willing to help new users when they hit
speed bumps.

Stan -- I am using 2.6.19 on 64-bit Windows 10. While the reporting module
is indeed very slow (bug report already out there was this) and while it
does say "Not Responding", eventually the report does come up (after about
60-90 seconds).
I agree that it may be way too long -- but it does technically work. My
belief is that it should work for you if given enough time.
That all being said -- for almost of us -- this is still considered a bug
--
but it does work -- eventually.

MODERATORS -- The entire list doesn't need to see this, but I'd appreciate
if you'd pass this on to the developers.
I wanted to like Gnucash, I really did, but it crashes e=whenever I try to
generate any report from any Gnucash file.
I installed Gnucash 2.6.19 (from link at Gnucash.org) on my 64-bit Windows
7
laptop and 64-bit Windows 8 laptop and started working my way through the
tutorial. When I made a scheduled transaction and couldn't see it in the
ledger, I attempted to display the report of scheduled transactions. Got
only a blank window, and when I clicked Close the title bar showed "not
responding". When I clicked the red x in the upper right corner to close
the
window, I got "Gnucash has stopped working".
The same thing happened with every report I tried (maybe ten of them, min
various categories), and whether I had reports opening in a separate window
or not. This happens on both my laptops.
I looked in the FAQ Wiki
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Q:_I_cannot_get_any_
report_to_display_not_
even_the_sample_reports._All_that_displays_is_an_empty_tab.
and found a recommendation to change Internet options. That didn't help.
I followed the link from the FAQ to the bug report
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=645273
which was entered SEVEN YEARS AGO. There were various suggestions related
to
Internet Explorer, which I tried, but as other folks found, those
suggestions did not help.
I then Googled the gnucash-user archive and found nothing new, just
rehashes
of the same problem.
HTML files and trace files were generated in my temp folder, but there's no
point in sending them since many others have done that already, yet the bug
remains unfixed.
I've already wasted about six hours trying unsuccessfully to work around
the
bug, and several times that on the tutorial. I wanted to like Gnucash, and
I
know the software is free, but without the ability to produce any reports
it's worth even less than I paid for it.
Extremely disappointing.
