Incorrectly categorizing downloaded transactions

info@

I have been using Quicken since 1988. I am running Windows 11 (Windows 11 Insider Preview (10.0.22623.1325))

I download transactions from several accounts - bank, credit card etc - and Quicken will automatically assign categories to the transactions, usually incorrectly. It has been inept at this for years and I want to disable that feature.

I followed the instructions to disable the feature (edit -> preferences -> downloaded transactions -> clear checkbox) but quicken persists in incorrectly categorizing downloaded transactions.

Rebooted computer and restarted Quicken but that did not make a difference. Still doing the same thing.

Any fixes out there?

for your more common transactions, I would create Renaming Rules (Tools menu) and also a Memorized Payee (MP) (Tools menu) with the renamed Payee and Category with $0 for the amount and Lock the MP.

Doing it this way, you control the Category and not Quicken.
