Inner window (Register, Portfolio) pulses when performing an Update
First: GEN82575 -all things suggested long ago applied.
After troubleshooting, seeking to replicate, here's what occurs.
Clean boot, run Quicken, no other applications running.
Update Accounts, all seems to be in order.
Run again, there's a singular pulse, inner Register window only: not tool bar nor left panel of Accounts. After pulse, there's a pause then another pulse.
I went into individual accounts and performed updates.
Interesting results; after an update then on a successive update additional pulses occur.
Let's say I do that 5 times, I could be seeing six or seven pulses; let's say seven for the next step.
Note: If an account is Direct Connect, then I'd see a stream of seven pulses. BTW, why do I say a pulse and not flash: a flash is quick, a pulse is a bit longer and, when a series of them occur, there's a rhythm to them like a heart beat.
Note: If an account is Express Web Connect, I'd see a series of seven followed by a pause as if there's a process going on and then another series of seven.
If I go over to the Portfolio window and do a Quote update, there'd be the seven or eight pulses.
The more I request a quote the more pulses I get.
And, the addition of pulses on successive updates is not linear. After seven, the next series could be ten then the next could be 14.
This is repeatable.
I just exited Quicken and run again.
It starts over.
I do a quote-update a few times and count is up to 4.
I open an account, do update, now 5 pulses on Direct Connect.
Open an Express Web Connect, update, now 9 pulses, a pause then 9 pulses.
An so on.
It jumped to 15 then 21.
Type of Account doesn't matter whether bank, credit card, Paypal, brokerage...
Most unusual.
