Quicken ID Login form disappears when first field is clicked

Opie

Youtube video ID is here Izrx0sKUqP8 (I'm not allowed to post the full link).

I clicked in that first field, and the window blanks. I cannot access my data. This seems a bit different than the issue stickied to the forums.

What version of Quicken? Are you sure it's not this issue?

Opie

R19.44. I'm sure that the description in that, while similar, is not the same as what I am reporting. Did you look at the video? In any event, I've tried all the proposed solutions from that post.

Greg_the_Geek

No, I couldn't find the video. Can't you post a screenshot?

Opie

Video is at https://youtu.be/Izrx0sKUqP8

I can't tell anything from your video. Try this: https://community.quicken.com/discussion/7854893/can-the-most-recent-update-r19-44-be-undone-back-to-r18-16

Opie

In the video, I open Quicken. It immediately takes me to the Quicken ID Login page. I click on email address and the form disappears. That's it.

I've tried reverting. Since I am not logged into Quicken ID the Mondo update fails with the error "You need membership to proceed with the requested item."

Greg_the_Geek

Do you have multiple monitors?

Opie

No. This is a laptop. W10 64-bit, fully updated. 4k display (but set to 1920 x 1080).

Greg_the_Geek

I wish I could see the system tray in your video. Does the Quicken icon disappear?

Opie

There is no Quicken icon in the system tray. Never has been.

Greg_the_Geek

No, As soon as you start Quicken and see the splash screen there's a Quicken "Q" icon in the system tray. Have you looked at the Application log in the event viewer for any error messages related to Quicken?

Opie

Nope. I have it installed on a desktop, now and running (but it needs to run on the laptop). Both show the icon in the task bar, but neither have ever shown in the system tray. Screen shot attached. (account info intentional blanked out)

No logs for Quicken.

Greg_the_Geek

My bad! I meant the task bar. Does the Quicken icon continue to show in the TASK BAR on your laptop after the form disappears?

Opie

Yes, it stays in the task bar until I close Quicken manually.

Greg_the_Geek

Have you tried creating a new Windows user account and running Quicken from that account?

Opie

Yes. I've tried every posted suggestion (some, like uninstall/reinstall, I've tried twice).

Greg_the_Geek

I'm stumped. Have you considered reloading Windows on your laptop?

Opie

Absolutely not. This started at the same time as the last Quicken update which moved away from .NET. I'll wait for the next update and in the mean time remote into my desktop that still works.

Greg_the_Geek

That was R19.44. Any previous version should not have the same problem.

Opie

Unfortunately, as mentioned, I cannot revert.

Font size problems? Display issues? (Windows)

If you are using a version of Quicken at the Quicken 2019 US R 19.44 patch level or newer and you have previously made the following Compatibility change, please undo the change.
Users of older Quicken versions please try the following:

• Close Quicken !!! (This process won't work while Quicken is running!)
• Check the Compatibility tab settings in your Quicken Desktop program icon:
• In the Windows Start Menu right-click the Quicken icon. Select "Open File Location". This brings up a Windows File Explorer window. Right-click the highlighted Quicken shortcut line item.
  or
• Go to the traditional Windows Desktop and right-click the Quicken program icon.

• Now click Properties.

• Select the Compatibility tab.

• Uncheck all settings.

• Windows 7, 8.1: Check "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings". 
  Windows 10:  Check "Override high DPI scaling behavior. Scaling performed by:" and select "Application"  (also try the other available options!)

• Be sure to uncheck the "Run this program in compatibility mode for [older Windows version]" setting.

• Click the "Change settings for all users" button.
• Click Apply and exit.
• Now start Quicken and see if that makes a difference.

Some additional tuning suggestions:

• Try this workaround for 4k monitors
  https://www.quicken.com/support/work-around-display-issues-high-resolution-monitors
• Unless absolutely required, try not to use "View / Use large fonts"
• Try setting the bank account registers to use a different font style or size: in Edit / Preferences / Register click the Fonts button and try different fonts.

• Try adjusting the bank account registers' row height: in Edit / Preferences / Register choose among the available Row Height choices: Compact, Comfortable or Standard

• If all else fails, try changing Windows Control Panel / Display options for "Make text and other items … smaller or larger" to use a different scaling level.

Opie

Clean install, so first section didn't apply. 4k fix had no effect. Cannot get to the point of having any menu other than File and Help, so next section is not possible to do. Font scaling (and display resolution changes) have no effect. Today's update did not have any effect.

Greg_the_Geek

Why can't you just reapply the R18.16 Mondo patch?

Opie

I've tried reverting. Since I am not logged into Quicken ID the Mondo update fails with the error "You need membership to proceed with the requested item."

I tried this on my own laptop and it worked fine.

1. Download the latest Quicken installation file from quicken.com and the R18.16 Mondo Patch.

2. Use QcleanUI to remove Quicken.

3. Reboot computer.

4. Enable Airplane Mode so there's no Internet connection.

5. Run Quicken installation program but don't launch Quicken.

6. Disable Airplane Mode.

7. Start Quicken and sign-in with Quicken ID and password. Should be R14.23.

8. Install the R18.16 Mondo patch and Start Quicken.

You're now running Quicken Subscription R18.16.

Then there's something corrupt in your Windows installation.
