Quicken keeps booting me out!

Marty 28312

I use Quicken for Windows 2019 v20.15. It is on a Win[d]ows 10 based computer. Two issues concern me. 1. If I click My Acccount under help, Quicken shuts down and an er[r]or message appears (I send the [r]eport as requested). 2. Some one on the Community suggested I sign out and sign in as a new user....If I do that, a white screen covers Quicken...If i attempt to start Quicken, the white screen is over my Quicken screen.
I have been assigned case numbers: 2664391 and 2662698.

I know am forced to also run Quicken on a laptop in case my desktop crashes again. I worry that my Quicken will fail and be unresponsive...I have spent the better part of two days with Tech Support.

All these issues began when I moved from V 18.16 to 20.15.

And I'm running Quicken for Windows 2019 v20.15 on the exact same version of Windows as you without any crashing.

You can try going back to R18.16.

I have lost confidence in Quicken. I keep wondering what else will go wrong with the program. I am not sure what action will cause it to fail again.

Hi @""Marty 28312" ,

See this procedure:  https://community.quicken.com/discussion/7844658/installing-reinstalling-windows-quicken-subscription-editions

As long as you don't take shortcuts, it will work.
However, sometimes, I do find it necessary to also delete the Data File as well as all the logs within your Data Folder, which should be located at:  Documents\Quicken or Documents\Quicken 2019.

Why? The logs or Data File can cause Quicken to crash or act funny,

Do you have Controlled Folder Access enabled in Windows Defender?

Marty 28312

I am using McAfee...Windows Defender is not being used.

Tech support and I did several reinstallations of Quicken...the problem is still there.

Quicken works without issues on an older laptop using Windows 7.

Greg...

I went back to R18.16 and all is working as expected. Thank you so much for the assistance.
