Before attempting to restore a Quicken file backup (or open an earlier copy of the Quicken File), I suggest deleting the
Quicken Cloud
dataset (aka
cloud account
) associated with the Quicken file. Note: You need to open another Quicken file to delete the appropriate
cloud account
. You may want to review:

This
other
Quicken file needs to have a distinct file identifier so that we may delete the
cloud account
associated with the original Quicken file. For example, you may create a new Quicken file (select
File > New Quicken File...
) without any accounts, enable sync in preferences so you may view and delete the
cloud account
associated with the original Quicken file.
This is necessary because when we open or restore an another version of the Quicken file with the same file identifier, Quicken is not resetting the
cloud account
appropriately at this time. I hope they will let us know when they have addressed this issue, but for now before opening another Quicken file that has the same file identifier embedded, delete the
cloud account
.
Note: Only
File > New Quicken File...
generates a distinct file identifier. All other forms of creating Quicken file, copy the embedded identifier from another file.

The same problem happened to me twice this year. The first time was several months ago. It took me several days to notice the problem. It not only change already reconciled transactions, but also clear all tags and memos of those transactions. The worst part is that it untangle those fund transfer transactions between accounts that causes the balances of those accounts incorrect and I had to go through several months' statement to correct each of them. It happens this morning again and I'm working on it. This time I caught the problem right after one step update so that I still can restore the file from backup. However, I have no idea how to solve the problem since it keep happening after I use the one step update.
