[GNC] Importing QIF files contain no transactions

Hi All,
I'm new to GnuCash but am looking to migrate over to it from the 2002 
version of Quicken I currently run on my Windows 10 desktop.
Initially, I installed it Version 5.5+(2023-12-16) on my wife's laptop 
running Linux Mint V22 to try it out, exported all the accounts as QIF's 
from Quicken and imported them into GnuCash.  That worked fine so I then 
installed the Windows version V5.10+(2024-12-14) on my desktop.
However, when I go through exactly the same process to import the same 
bunch of QIF files into the Windows program, the imported accounts show 
up but no transactions are imported so I just have a bunch of empty 
accounts.  What I have had to do is import the same QIF files into the 
Linux version on my wife's laptop, save the resulting main GnuCash data 
file, copy it over to my PC and load it into the Windows version of 
GnuCash.  From there, everything works as it should but why doesn't the 
import on the Windows version pull in any transactions?
