Is there a way to revert to the prior version when getting subscription updates?

If a subscription update severely damages some of Quicken's functionality, is there a way to revert to the prior working version?
If yes, how would that reversion be done?

You would run the patch for the release that you want after a re-install.

1. Change your Windows UAC settings so that you control when a program will change an installed software program.
2. Have both the install program and the release patch on your local harddrive before starting.
3. Disable your internet connection so that Quicken can't update to latest release at end of install.
4. Run the install, do not start Q at end.
5. Run the patch release.
6. Enable your internet connection.
   
7. Restore a backup of your data file from before the corruption.
   

You can get the older patch releases at Quicken Patches.

NOTE: To be on the safe side, download and save your own copy of the release patches from Subscription QW latest patch as they are released for potential use.  QPW's collection of them may not always be available.

Thank you!

I also added a discussion describing how to access an older version by using the support website links.  Basically changing the release number in the link for the latest mondo patch to the older release number.
