Can't Re-Activate Account Downloads
craigtaz
My quicken software slowed down to a crawl, so I followed Quicken’s directions on how to validate my files. This helped with speed, but it deactivated ALL of my account downloads in the process, something they didn’t warn about. I went into each account and re-activated them one by one. This was tedious, as quicken kept locking up on me. I am unable however to re-activate downloads for my final account, my Capital One credit card. When I click on “Activate Downloads” in my accounts list, my PC screen turns gray and locks up. The same thing happens if I try and activate it via my Update Settings. What is going on?

Hello
@craigtaz
,
Thank you for reaching out to the Community and telling us about your issue, though I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing this.
If you haven't already, I suggest you try signing out of your data file completely and then signing back in to refresh the registration token for your Online Connected Services. However, I do recommend that you first
save a backup
file prior to performing these steps.
Navigate to
Edit
Preferences...
Quicken ID & Cloud accounts
Click
Sign in as a different user
(or it might say
Sign in using a different Quicken ID
)
Follow the prompts to
Sign Out
Sign back in using your Quicken ID (
email
) and password
Once that is done, see if the issue still continues to persist.
I hope this helps!

Unfortunately, this only made matter worse for me. Signing out and back in disabled my checking account downloads. When I re-enabled it, it downloaded all of September’s transactions that had already been cleared. When I tried to re-activate my Capitol One downloads again, the screen continued to turn gray and lock up, forcing me to shut down Quicken via task manager.
