    @SteveParker: > After entering the vault password OSU starts, not the Update Settings window.

    It's been that way for me for a while, and while working with this recent problem I found out why.  When you enter the vault password there are buttons at the bottom which include "Settings" and "Update Now" and "Skip". If you press Enter after entering the vault password, the "default" option used is Update Now, and you go into OSU.  Instead if you tab to or click on Settings, you'll go to the settings page.

    I'm in such a habit of hitting enter! Thanks very much for pointing this out.

    R23.21 (Quicken 2020) installed automatically - and YES, it appears that all is well (well, except for on bank asking for 2nd layer authentication, and one of my stock balances not matching due to an entry with a five digit year, haha). As Steve said, this has been quite an adventure and one that I'm sure that Quicken did not enjoy over the holidays!

    Now that the dust has settled and things seem to be working, it would be nice to get a short explanation about what the problem was and how they resolved it. I'm sure that many of the users that worked through this and especially those that contributed to the solution would like to know. Thank You!!

    R23.21 (Quicken 2020) seems to be worse for me than the test build was.  Since installing R23.21 four days ago the OSU hangs and Quicken black screens, freezes and crashes returned.  As with the previous 2 builds (including the test build) whether animations was turned on or off made no difference in performance.
    The first day of running R23.21 I noticed one thing between the OSU updates on 3 different data files:  Two of the data files have accounts that require 2-layer authorization and these were the data files that had the OSU issues.  The 3rd data file has no accounts requiring 2-layer authorization and OSU performed well.
    The last 3 days I experimented 6 times with the 2 files that have the 2-layer authorization accounts.  Unchecking those accounts in OSU settings allowed OSU to function well...every time.  Checking those accounts in OSU settings, again, caused OSU to not only experience these issues but also never actually updated those accounts even when OSU would complete and show them as updated.
    So, for now, I am not including accounts that require 2-layer authorization in OSU.  I can update them individually by clicking on "Update Now" in the account register screens and this works well...every time.

    Just to confirm update to 23.21 installed automatically and OSU is working as before.
    Wish I could get back the 2 weeks of agony over the holidays trying to figure this out and the extra load on updating 100+ accounts manually while they figured it out. Not to mention the added risk due to all the tinkering with my computer settings and multiple versions of my quicken file while trying to figure it out before they accepted it was their issue.

    I was about to change to another software. My problem was not on the update of bank transactions, it was with the cloud sync. If I did one step update without the cloud sync, all was good. If I do the cloud sync, i get a dark screen exactly when downloading transactions and it hanged. I did a reset of the cloud and still got the hang. I did all the steps and no success until I did this software update. At first I got the dark screen but after a couple of minutes I had a sync error for duplicate transactions, very old transactions (from 2017 and 2018). Very odd, to show this now. The cloud sync posted those transactions automatically, duplicating them. I deleted those transactions and now, it works!!!! Probably I would have detected on my next reconciliation on those accts. Anyway I have tried twice, and SO FAR, its WORKING. Will try later on after entering a transaction. If anything goes wrong, I'll be back.

    i just upgraded to Quicken subscription yesterday (January 12) from Quicken 2017, so I currently have version R23.21, but am experiencing the same problem with One Step Update. It stops responding. Using Windows 10.

    I just downloaded/installed Year 2020 Version R23.21 Build 27.1.23.21. This seemed to have fixed all the One Step Update issues, plus the other slowness I was experiencing in opening accounts and going from screen to screen.

    The test update worked for me so far, the other suggestions about turning off the animations did not, nor did updating one account at a time.

    Agreed. A communication from Eric Dunn explaining the steps Quicken will take to prevent recurrence of these issues is needed.

    I updated to 24.11 this morning and ran OSU in 4 different data files.  My observations:

    1)  OSU ran much faster with none of the black/flickering screens or hangs/crashes experienced over the last month.
    2)  One FI (Midland States Bank) in one data file returned OL-297-A (can't establish an Internet connection).  Quicken states that if this happens only with one FI it is likely a server issue so I'll try, again, later.
    3) Accounts requiring 2-layer authentication:  OSU allowed me to enter the authentication codes without any issue for two different accounts in two different data files, so that is an improvement.  One of those accounts updated properly via OSU and I haven't seen that happen for several weeks. (Previously updates could only be successfully completed via "Update Now" from the account register screen.)  But the other account in a different data file still showed in OSU Summary that the account had been updated but when clicking on the link under the account name in OSU Summary it showed that it had not been updated.   I was able to successfully update this account via "Update Now".
    4) One account not requiring 2-layer authentication:  The OSU Summary showed it had been updated but when clicking on the link below that account name it showed that it had not.  It did update successfully and download transactions via "Update Now."
    5) Switching between accounts/tabs seems to be faster and smoother.

    I'm reserving judgment on 24.11 until after I run OSU a few more times but it does appear to be a good improvement.

    Just want to thank Sarah and the Quicken team for keeping everyone posted and for their hard word during this OSU debacle.

    Everything is good now with Build 27.1.23.21 - Quicken 2019. In fact, as others have noted program seems to run better than before.

    That said, I declined the update made available this morning!!! :D

    I have also been in the IT business for 40 yrs and a Quicken user since 1996.
    "shobackt" comments below are well written and I too have lost confidence, and I have concerns about the viability of Quicken going forward. I am a 2017 user and I fully intended to upgrade to subscription at the beginning of this year but certainly not in the middle of the recent issues. Too add insult to injury Quicken kept flashing a 40% upgrade discount - last day advertisement screen during the outage. I agree with "shobackt" that Quicken should clearly communicate the cause of the of the outage and affect some level of compensation to it's customers.

    I've updated to 24.11 and OSU works fine. It hickuped on one account yesterday, but updated on the next attempt. Updated without an issue this morning as well. Mixture of banks, investments, credit cards (14 in all).
    I still have animations turned off, and that is fine with me.
  • MsLMMsLM Member ✭
    I had not experienced any One Step Update problems until today, when the updated accounts showed flags and updated balances, but did not download any transactions. I applied the patch from the support page on this topic, re-ran One Step Update, and everything was fine. Just checking in on this as requested.
  • TheHarTheHar Member ✭✭
    Two things:
    1. Does animation needs to be turned back on?
    2. Cloud updated does not appear on OSU selection on my OSU.

    Yes, there are on-going issues with 2FA accounts during OSU.  Sometimes those accounts will update and sometimes they won't.  I can't rely on the update status shown on the OSU Summary because that will almost always show the 2FA accounts were updated but when clicking on the link under the accounts listed in the OSU Summary it is common to see that they were not actually updated.  I've gotten to the point where I've removed them from OSU and update them separately via Update Now (which always seems to work).
    This issue with the OSU Summary (showing accounts are updated but actually were not) also happens sometimes with non-2FA accounts (both EWC and DC) but not nearly as often.  As with the 2FA accounts having this issue, running Update Now will usually provide the desired results.
    All this makes me wonder if the issue is a more universal OSU issue and that 2FA might be simply aggravating a larger issue.

    I did not have the OSU problem until applying the last update around Jan 20 2020. Then my screen went bonkers during OSU. I went into settings to turn off animation and found that it was not turned on. The temp fix was applied and that appears to have fixed the issue, but it is now painfully slow.
