I presume you are talking about gnucash 3.0. There are several issues in that 
version on Windows that can cause the behaviour you descibe.
There is a nightly build with several fixes available here:
https://wiki.gnucash.org/builds/win32/maint/gnucash-3.0-2018-04-17-git-3.0-75-g87f94abc8+.setup.exe
Can you test this version and let us know if this one works better ?
