I clicked 'show completed' on 6000 Reminders, now keeps crashing

[tonywalker23]

On my iMac, I clicked "Show Completed" on the Reminders app in the "Scheduled" section. Now, the app keeps freezing when I try to open it. When I clicked it and it froze, I thought 'oh no, I shouldn't have done that.'

I can force quit Reminders. But, when I open it back up and it goes to the last view of Scheduled with Show Completed it freezes again.

Can anyone help me get out of this loop?

Have you tried just opening it and leave it sitting overnight? It could just be working on updating all those reminders.

Could possibly delete the .pref file. That might let you back into Reminders.

Thanks for the info. It ended up fixing itself after leaving it alone.
