Thank you for providing on-point details about your concern and reporting this to us, @LANDYRAY.
At this time, there's an ongoing investigation about QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) freezes when emailing through Outlook or printing transactions as PDFs. We've identified that the root causes of this issue are the Windows 10 update KB4560960 and the use of jpg logos in the template. I assure you that our product engineers are actively working to have a permanent fix.
It's good to hear you've resolved your issue by opening the file through File Explorer. Other users will find this helpful if they're experiencing the same as yours. I can also provide additional workarounds to help fix this.
First, you can install the Windows update released by Microsoft through their website: KB4567512. If this doesn't work, you can perform the other options below:
- Change the file type of your logo in QBDT from JPG to PNG.
- Edit the form template and remove the logo by unchecking the Use Logo button.
- Uninstall the KB4560960 update in Windows 10.
- Go to Updates & Security under Settings in Windows to download the new updates. Use KB4565483 for 1903 and 1909 versions and KB4565503 (2004).
To learn more about the process above, check out this article: QBDT For Windows Freezes When Trying To Email Or Print.
