<p>Thre are a number of troubleshooting steps to try out</p>
<p>1. Start up qgis using the -noplugins switch or remove all
installed plugins or test removing one at a time.</p>
<p>2. Backup the config file and start with a new empty config.</p>
<p>Qgis 2.10 is well out of support, is there any reason you can't
migrate to 3.0?<br>

<p dir="ltr"> hello Phil,</p>
<p dir="ltr"> I did open the project file in Word, 2033 pages, and
found 13 instances referring to the dxf file. Hard to say if
anything was wrong there, nothing obvious. At least to me. Some
other research I did indicates that maybe there is an
authentication problem, not sure just what that boils down to.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I don't think the dxf file is the problem. I renamed
it and bypassed it on the startup routine which the program
accepted but it still seized up with a spinning cursor. Some
things still function, such as modifying the properties of a
layer , Etc. But the screen is blank and nothing can be saved.</p>
<p dir="ltr">For some time I have noticed that loading a project
file bogs down for a while and then would resume to completion.
Now it bogs down and blows up. The key message seems to be
unknown exception.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Some older project files do load successfully
however...</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hello All,<br>
<br>
Bad News. I am unable to load a project that normally
works with no problems:</p>
<ol start="1" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal">QGIS 2.10.1, Windows 7.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Project starts to load, loads
many layers . . .</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">halts loading "point Entity", a
DXF file</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">the DXF file was renamed to
trigger the Handle Bad Layers service</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">this was bypassed but project
loading still fails to complete, cursor spinner on
constantly</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">exiting with Save triggers
"Unknown Exception"</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">the project file is trashed to
0kb</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Exiting without Save is OK but
no project can be loaded</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Restoring previous project file
versions yields the same results</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Loading some other projects
works but may have cursor spinner</li>
</ol>
<p>Any ideas what is going on here? I have rebooted the
computer.</p>
<p>Thanks very much . . . .</p>
