Crashing When Updating

Any attempt to run an update today causes a crash of Quicken. Appears as if the Quicken authentication server is down? No account will update.
No error messages, just a crash and the error reporter pops up.

Hello
@OldSkoolDj
,
Thank you for contacting the Quicken Community, though I do apologize that you are experiencing this issue with Quicken continuously crashing when attempting to run a One Step Update.
To start with, I suggest that you please try validating and/or super validating your data file. However, I do recommend that you first
save a backup
file prior to performing these steps.
Validate
:
File
Validate and Repair File
...
Validate File
Click
OK
Close the Data Log
Close Quicken (leave it closed for at least 5 secs)
Reopen Quicken and see if the issue persists.
If the issue persists, proceed to Super Validate. If the issue is resolved after performing validation, then please disregard the instructions to Super Validate.
Super Validate
:
File
Hold
CTRL + Shift
and click
Validate and Repair File
...
Super Validate File
Click
OK
Close the Data Log
Close Quicken (leave it closed for at least 5 secs)
Reopen Quicken and see if the issue persists.
Please let me know how it goes!

Tried the Validate routines and no joy. Downloaded Quicken program file and ran the install. It worked. Q is now able to run the update successfully.

Thank you for coming back to update us, though I do apologize that the validate/supervalidate functions did not help to resolve your issue.

Please do not hesitate to reach out with any further questions or concerns!

Are you saying we have to uninstall Q and reinstall it? I tried Validate and Super Validate, and nothing is working.
