One Step Update Freezing for 48 hours ( it is now Apr-09-2023 at 07:59 AM EDT)

GA225GCC

Windows 11

Q v r48.15; build 27.1.48.15; no updates available

I work on Q about every 2 weeks, so no problems 2 weeks ago , but since Friday 4.7.23, one step update fails to complete. no error message, it just runs, and runs and runs until Q freezes

I have tried updating only ONE of the accts - no luck, I tried a bank acct; I tried to update ONLY one bank acct again, but a second bank account (different institution). Q one step update still freezes

validated the file, no errors

no new accts have been added in months/years

no new soft ware has been installed on the PC. no new hardware has been added.

I then tried to update a single credit card account — same result; I then tried a 2nd cc acct (again different company) — same thing

and yes, each time this process requires Q to be quit via the task manager "end task" and then I reboot the PC as Q STILL does not have a button to end the one-step update except to "end Quicken" via task manager

GA225GCC

2 weeks later - the same problems; Q dead in the water re downloads

and support — nowhere to be found

GA225GCC

well -- update

Chatted with customer no-service. First Q needed to blame it on other software, so i needed to turnoff Norton and open the PC to the internet and viruses and malware.

done -- guess what -- Q still does not complete a one update cycle -- even doing one of the 35 accts at a time

then another agent offers -- unlink all 35 accts and add them piecemeal

that is a hours long process

OR -- I can contact support back on Monday (I guess, I can not go to work and sit in front of the PC and have support to say the same things)

no help

at all

if there was another option, despite being a 27 year user, I would bail on Q -- but the power of a monopoly !!
