JabRef Loads Very Slowly Windows 10 (4.3.1) and screen goes black. #4481

JabRef version 4.3.1

Hi, I'm a relatively new JabRef user. I used to have a Mac machine at work and used Bibdesk before. I love all of the JabRef features. However, the program loads so slowly on my machine it's almost unusable. I only have about 50 entries total so far. However, it takes JabRef as long as 10 minutes to open up a database file. Just a few moments ago I loaded a database with just 12 entries. I went and made coffee, came back wrote an e-mail and then logged onto GitHub to post this request for help before JabRef came up.

I'm not sure what I need to change or what the issue is. I can't imagine everyone is experiencing this kind of performance. I would expect people would stop using the software if this was normal. So I don't know if this is a bug in what I have or a setting that's incorrect but any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Additionally, I use a dual screen system. In whatever screen JabRef loads up in it works (once it loads). However, when I drag the window over to the other screen the JabRef window goes completely black and becomes inoperable. It works when I drag it back to the first screen.
