Is R37.62 a staged release? Available to all users? What?

leishirsute

It looks like release information is not longer being updated at

https://community.quicken.com/discussion/7901682/windows-r37-xx-release-us

The last entry instructed to hold off updating to R37.xx.  Is this still the case?

Please bring back update announcements.

Updates are getting confusing and too frequent.

Hello @leishirsute,

Thank you for reaching out to the Community with your question.

Version R37.62 is a staged release. I also went ahead and posted an update in the release post you referenced.

Thank you!

I have Windows 10 Quicken Premier and when I check for updates Quicken responds that I already have the latest version R36.57 yet, apparently the most recent release is R37.62. I'm confused.

leishirsute

R37.62 is not released to all users.  It's in a validation stage.  R36.57 is the latest version available to all users and passed the validation stages.

Chris_QPW

And the hot fix R37.62 has a hot fix (which is also isn't yet released to everyone) R37.65:

Version R37.65 (Dec, 2021)

What's fixed

· An issue that prevented manual transactions from appearing in the register until after a reverse-date sort.

I suggest that if you have not updated to R37.XX, then don't be too anxious to do that.  There are a number of reports from people who did update to R37.XX with issues like investment accounts changed from Complete Investing to Simple Investing, default data entry transactions being at the top of the register instead of at the bottom of the register, check numbers for reconciled transactions being deleted and transactions that were downloaded but not visible anywhere yet the account register account balance takes them into account.  These things happened to me and after spending 8 hrs trying to troubleshoot and fix them I gave up, reverted to R36.57 and restored a back-up from before the R37.XX update.  Now it's all OK for me.  IMO, there is something very wrong with R37.XX.

The funky part of this is that isn't what is currently being "requested".  If one is currently on a R37 version, they are now getting a request to "update" to R36.  So, this isn't really a matter of if one should upgrade, but whether they should downgrade.

It is my opinion that given the chaotic releasing of patches that Quicken Inc is going through that if one isn't having any problems, they should just stay on what they have whether it be R36.* or R37.* until Quicken Inc finally gets their act together.

 I should have qualified my last post to say that it appears to be working reasonably well for a number of Schwab customers.  And I should have stated that the problems being encountered are not universal.  So, yes, I agree with you on everything in your comment....if whatever version you are on is working well for you, then stay with it for now.

Yet somehow I seem to be running 37.64. Go figure.

If one counts all the staged releases you have all of these for December, and I might even be missing some:
R36:
.48, .54, .57

R37:
.37, .62, .64, .65
