Unable to update to newer versions

Phil_44

For the past several weeks I have been unable to update to newer versions. Both when I am prompted at start-up and when i try to update manually. I get the following error message: "The process cannot access file MigrationTool.exe because it is being used by another process."

I called help some months ago for assistance. They had me delete and reinstall Quicken. That worked to get latest version but I am hoping there is a better solution.

There were identical posts reported about this in Jun-Jul (see examples here) where many were addressed by using the Mondo patch process.  I also noticed this in the release notes:

Hi @Phil_44   

Sometimes Antivirus programs or Windows defender cause this error.  Turn them off temporarily and see if that helps.  Alternatively try updating using the Quicken Mondo patch (again turn of your AV first) from here.  Let us know if that helps please.

@phil_44,

Why EXACTLY, are you unable to update?  What happens? What error messages or codes?

And, when you do HELP, About Quicken ... what shows are you current BUILD and your "Membership Valid Thru" date?

To answer some of your questions I was attempting to update from R34.24 to R35.31. My subscription is good through summer 2022. I ran one step update. I do not have Norton antivirus but I did turn off my virus software. I was still unable to update as I got the same error message. However, I was able to update to current version by using the Mondo patch process. Thank you to all who responded.

Also new updates are put out as staged releases.  Not everyone gets it at the beginning.
