Upon quote update sometimes I get an infinite loop with the screen alternating between black, the update window in the center of the screen, and the main Quicken window. This didn't resolve after a reboot. I'm running Deluxe R44.28. I should not have any reminders.

Hello
@EvDob
,
Thank you for reaching out to the Community and telling us about your issue, though I apologize that you are experiencing this.
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.
I hope this helps!
EvDob
Thanks, Jasmine! So far the Validate seems to have done the trick.
EvDob
I spoke too soon. I have seen the issue a couple of times since doing a super validate.
