Do you have Controlled Folder Access enabled in Windows Defender?
What is the full path to the folder that contains your Quicken data file on the hard drive? Are you using OneDrive, Dropbox or Google Backup?
Hello @bluesman101 ,
Thank you for continuing to discuss this issue with us here on the Quicken Community. We are sorry for any confusion, and for these ongoing difficulties with crashes.
We understand that the data file seems to have been exhibiting expected behaviors until now, but we have additional troubleshooting steps that will require that the data file be moved onto the local computer. Once your data file is on your computer, I recommend saving a backup by navigating to File > Copy or Backup File… in the upper menu at the top of the screen, then proceed through the steps listed below, in order:
If you are still noticing difficulties after you have attempted those recommendations, you may try the following:
Let us know how this works for you, if you get the chance to check back in with us.
Thank you,

I have 2 more suggestions. Try booting your computer into Safe Mode with Networking and then running Quicken. If that doesn't work, try creating a new Windows account and running Quicken.
I have no explanation of what gets corrupted in a Windows profile, but I suggested that to other users with crashing problems and it seemed to fix the problem.
Actually, the software is the same for all versions. It's your Quicken ID which determines your version of Quicken. When it comes to Windows, I've seen many unexplainable problems with other programs as well.
From Quicken, you could try signing out of your Quicken ID and back in again. As I posted, the Quicken software is exactly the same for all versions. I don't have any crashing problems as most Superuser's don't either so I won't know how to have a Quicken Engineer reproduce the problem to be able to fix it.
