One Step Updates Inconsistent Across Different Computers

Kenneth Goodwin

I've seen this for years.  My desktop will detect and incorporate an update yet when I check my laptop, it will not recognize this latest update.  Quicken Deluxe example: Desktop Version R47.7 Build 27.1.47.7  Laptop R46.12 Build 27.1.46.12  Attempts to "Check for Updates" responds with "You already have the latest version of Quicken (Release 
R46.12).  Both computers run Windows 11 Pro.  Pushing the situation attempting to utilize a Mondo Patch (which always worked before) now results in an error message about some corrupted App/Local/Temp file which is obviously generated during the execution of the patch.  I use the same QDF file on both computers having copied the QDF file from the desktop to the laptop.  No problems on either computer.  I get the feeling Quicken is limiting the frequency of One Step Updates since I kind of remember that the laptop will catch up a few days later.

This is because Quicken releases updates in stages.  They will allow a certain number of users to download an update and then pause the updates to ensure there are no major issues.  Then as long as things are okay they will resume allowing updates at some later time (could be days later).  If there is an issue they may stop a particular update until a fix is available and then start the whole process over again.

Thanks for the education.  I felt that Quicken was limiting the update availability from the response I've seen over the years.  It hasn't caused any problems since I baseline my financial state in the desktop which is my go-to computer only using the laptop when on travel.

With respect to the comment by bmciance: that is a polite way of saying that the patches are not properly, completely, thoroughly (or even barely) vetted before release and Quicken is relying on the user community to, in effect, beta test for them.
