    I followed Kathryn's instructions and was able to successfully download Vanguard transactions.

    Same for me with Vanguard. Tried all the fixes - nothing.

    The past two days Vanguard has errors when performing the one step update. I deactivated the accounts and set up again with the same error message. I was able to download directly from the Vanguard web site to Quicken. Anyone else having issues with Vanguard the past two days?

    Like others, I deactivated my Vanguard account in trying to fix this issue over the past few days. Now, when I try to re-activate the account, still get the same error (OL-220-A), so I can't use One Step Update, since the account is currently deactivated. Advice please!!!!

    A few minutes ago I decided to open Quicken and retry the download and it was successful without having to take any other action.

    After my comment late on the 19th, I gave up for the day. This morning after starting up system, did a one state update an all accounts updated normally. For me, QuickenKathryn's latest fix plus restarting the program (and perhaps a re-boot) solved all the issues . I'm running Release 31.12

    I cannot select Vanguard in the Online Center form because it is no longer there.
    Can we please get this issue fixed too?

    The steps worked for me. I don't know why it is working for some and not others. Hopefully they will fix it soon

    Are the people still having issues the same ones who deactivated?

    I can download updates from Vanguard from within online center, but not from one step update.

    2/20/2021 - I just tried the fix posted in the ALERT message and following that procedure with my Vanguard online account resolved the OL-220-A error. I was able to successfully connect once I entered my passwords.

    However after closing Quicken and restarting it, I am now back to getting the OL-293-A error on one of my Vanguard accounts. Re-running OSU successfully connected to my Vanguard accounts and I was able to successfully d/l my transactions. The error returned on the OL-293-A error is "We’re sorry, the server is experiencing an internal error. Try again now, or wait and try later."

    tried OSU with no changes and received the same error message ; ran the download FI List and the Financial Institution Branding and profile updates in the online center again, and now the transaction downloads are working, no error message.

    Add me to the list - Quicken OL-220-A error when updating Vanguard. Successfully updated Feb 18, errors since then.

    Seems that those of us who deactivated the Vanguard account, then followed the latest fix instructions (i.e. refresh branding etc.) are still having the issue. FYI....if Vanguard is deactivated, it does not show up in the "Financial Institutions" drop down box in the online center....perhaps why the fix doesn't work????

    I also was sent an email from a Quicken rep named Kathryn that solved the problem for me, too.  Thanks to Vanguard/Quicken.

    I repeated this morning the procedure and now the Vanguard issue is resolved. I had to reactivate the one Vanguard account that I had deactivated and that went smoothly. Last night it did not work.
    However, something messed up my Fidelity Accounts - I got the same 'an error has occurred ' message. I tried doing the same Refresh Branding procedure which did not work. But I was able to reset the accounts and all is well.

    Unfortunately, I deactivated my Vanguard accounts and trying to reactivate yields the OL-220-A error.

    For those that have deactivated; have you tried Tools>Add Account, then Link to your existing accounts?

    @markus1957 Yes, I tried using Tools>Add Account to re-establish links for my Vanguard account, but even that approach resulted in first an OL-293-A error, then, after "try again," an OL-220-A error.

    Fix for those of us who deactivated!! This worked!!
    - Restore a backup file dated just before 2/17/2021.
    - Don't overwrite existing file just yet (create a copy instead)
    - Open up the copy.
    - Do a OSU to make sure Vanguard updates the copy file (it did for me).
    - Then update other info as needed in the copy file.
    - Rename the old file (I just added "old' to the name).
    - Rename the copy file to match the original.
    - Open up the file and re-check the Vanguard update.

    More work that I wanted to do, but all's well now!

    The fix proposed by Quicken Kathryn did not work for me. We have one Vanguard account that won't re-activate (haven't yet tried all the work suggested by @mikepilo) but even so, the other account (never de-activated) still gets OL-220-A error when attempting to update.

    In my log file from my most recent attempt to re-activate, I see the message "Login failed due to invalid credentials." However, I went to the Vanguard site and verified that the login credentials I'm using in Quicken are correct for the accounts (both of them). Does anyone else see this message in their log files?

    I just tried. After I enter my Vanguard credentials, same result - OL-220-A.
