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?

QIF import is broken in 5.10. It’s fixed in git so you can either use a recent nightly build from https://code.gnucash.org/builds/win32/stable/ <https://code.gnucash.org/builds/win/stable/> or GnuCash 5.9.
