Sometimes Tally Prime may become slow, freeze, or show “Not Responding”, especially during busy working hours. This can be frustrating and may interrupt billing, voucher entry, or report generation.
The good news: In most cases, this problem can be fixed with a few simple checks.
This guide explains why it happens and how to solve it, using plain language.
You may notice:
Tally takes too long to open
Screen freezes while saving vouchers
Reports load very slowly
Mouse clicks don’t respond
“Not Responding” message appears
Users commonly face slowness:
During peak office hours
When multiple users work at the same time
While running large reports
When data size becomes very large
On older or low-performance computers
Think of Tally like a busy office.
If too many things happen at once, performance may drop.
Common reasons:
Too many users accessing the same data
Large company data
Slow network connection
Low computer memory (RAM)
Background programs consuming resources
Antivirus scanning continuously
Disk errors or low free space
Follow these checks one by one.
This solves many temporary issues.
Steps:
Close Tally completely
Restart your computer
Open Tally again
✔ Helps clear temporary memory problems
Too many apps slow down the system.
Steps:
Close unused programs (browser, Excel, etc.)
Keep only necessary software open
✔ Frees system resources
Important for multi-user environments.
If multiple users work:
Ensure network cables are properly connected
Avoid weak Wi-Fi for Tally
Ask your IT person to check network speed
✔ Slow network = Slow Tally
Low storage causes lag.
Steps:
Open “This PC”
Check free space in drive (usually C:)
✔ Keep at least 15–20 GB free
If many users work together:
✔ Avoid running heavy reports during voucher entry
✔ Schedule reports after working hours
Large data slows performance.
✔ Splitting divides old & new data
✔ Improves speed significantly
