Everytime I open Quicken - message - exceeded the max. number of datasets.

This message comes up in the middle of the screen............You have exceeded the max. number of datasets. You cannot create a new dataset or continue to perform your current task at this time......

I just blow this message away and continue.........But, it's becoming a nuance.

Suggestions??

    This happened to me yesterday on one of my computers. Called Support. Long story short I asked them when fixing this if it would effect my other computer running a different dataset. They said no. Well today it happened again on the same computer not allowing me to create a new dataset. Fixed again and was able to create new dataset. Then I went to my main computwer that had a dataset going back to 2016 and it happened to that computer when adding an account in the dataset. Called support again and it got fixed so both computers seem fixed. Support said to not make any changes or add anything for 24 hours.

    Lots more info but this is the short version. Used Quicken for over 20 years and issues seem more frequent. I read here where this issue is discussed for over at least 2 years now.

    Time to fix this don't ya think???

    Windows 11 (2 separate computers)..... Quicken Premier.. HAVE USED QUICKEN CONTINUOUSLY SINCE 1985.
