after update to R40.28 my curser is no longer visible on desktop. (Q Win Canada)

Question

I have Canadian version of Quicken Deluxe and after updating to R40.28 Build 27.1.40.28 my curser is no longer visible on the Quicken screen.  I am using Windows 10.  Use of CTRL key shows where curser should be but curser is not there.  Any suggestions?

Many thanks Jarad.  After closing Quicken and then reopening it an hour or so later the problem has disappeared. My curser is now back and functional.  I didn't have to restore any backup files.  Hopefully the problem won't recur.

Hello @rpbrim,

I am sorry to hear about this problem with a missing cursor in Quicken windows. Thank you for asking about this here on the Quicken Community.

First, where is your current active data file located? You can check this anytime by going to File > Show this file on my computer... in the upper menu at the top of the screen.

Also, when did this issue begin, and how often do you save backups? We recommend saving backups frequently by going to File > Copy or Backup File... in the upper menu at the top of the screen, mentioned before. If this has been done often enough, there should be an available backups saved just prior to when this issue emerged that can be restored by going to File > Restore a Backup File...

I wish that I had more information about this unusual error for you, but this will require some troubleshooting. I hope to keep working with you on this.

Thank you,

Quicken Jared
