Quicken won't launch

TomS

Recently, when I launch Quicken it will open briefly for about 2 seconds and then closes out giving me the Quicken Crash report. I have submitted this several times. I'm a Quicken user for nearly 20 years. I have uninstalled/reinstalled several times. Applied the Mondo patch with no luck. Used to be this would only happen in the morning after I started my computer and later would launch properly. Now it won't launch at all.

Hello @TomS, 

I am sorry to hear about this problem with the program crashing when launched. Thank you for seeking assistance here on the Quicken Community. 

Do you know if your QDF is being stored on cloud storage of some kind? If not, I recommend reaching out to Quicken Support using the information provided in this link. If so, try moving it onto your computer, and then try again. 

I hope this is helpful. 

Thank you,

Quicken Jared

Thanks Jared. My QDF file is local. I do my backups to the cloud.

Have you tried this procedure?

• uninstall Quicken using this procedure:  https://www.quicken.com/support/how-do-i-uninstall-quicken-windows
• Now open your Windows File Explorer and navigate to This PC > C: Drive > Program Files (x86) or
  C:\Program Files (x86) and delete the folder titled "Quicken" (with all its files and subfolders)
• When done, reboot your computer and then reinstall Quicken from your account at quicken.com or your installation CD or saved downloaded installation file and allow it to update to the latest available patch release level.

Ukr - I followed your suggestion and it still won't launch for more than a few seconds.

Issue was unrelated to Quicken itself. I had gotten a virus/bug and ended up restoring windows to my hard drive and reloaded Quicken. Everything is better now.
