When I close quicken it does not auto sync and OSU very slow [Edited]
I subscribe to Quicken Windows annually (current edition). There was a recent update, and since that time sync is slow. I reset the cloud data, and now Quicken does not auto sync when closing the program. It will sync manually. The settings are set to auto sync though (I have checked and double checked.
Is there another solution

Hello @gfcoll43,
Thank you for reaching out to the Community and telling us about this issue. I'm sorry to hear you're running into this problem. Do you keep your Quicken file on your C drive or is it on a shared network drive? Is your Quicken file synced with any cloud service, such as One Drive or Dropbox (if it is, you will usually see the service name listed in the file location)?
The simplest way to check your file location, if you have Quicken up and the file open, is to click on File, then look near the bottom of the list, just above where it says Exit. It will list the file locations for the 4 Quicken files you have most recently accessed, with the one you are currently in at the #1 spot.
Thank you.

I don't use Quicken mobile, so I don't know if the sync to mobile/web is slow, but One Step Update has become extremely slow for the Canadian version. I've been complaining about this for more than a year and no one seems to be listening at Quicken….

I am having the same problem since updating. One Step update takes ~5 minutes every time. I have deleted my on-line data and re-sync'd. Even if I tell Quicken to only update my Investment data, or only CC data, it still takes ~ 5 minutes. This is very annoying, please fix ASAP.0

Kristina, I have reported this issue many times over the last year. I've reported it using Report a Problem. I've reported it to regular support. I've reported it to escalated support. I've even reported it to the Office of the President. It's been well over a year and all I hear are the crickets.

I am sorry to hear of this slowness problem in updating or downloading banking transactions.
I have personally never setup "Express Web Connect" for logging into and downloading my bank or Credit Card transactions through Quicken. I use the old "Web Connect" method, whereby with Quicken open to the specific account, I then log myself into my Bank's website and then manually download the transactions from the Bank's website interface.
As a result I am not having any slowdown issue in downloading. I can appreciate the convenience factor in just being able to use One Step Update to login directly to my banks and then automatically download the transactions, but I have never fully trusted the complexity of this operation, especially now that most banks are now requiring some form of 2 Factor login verification.
I also have never been comfortable in syncing or uploading my data to any location other than my own hard drive. Call me a Luddite, but this process has served me without major problems since the 90's.
Having never setup "Express Web Connect", I can not suggest how to revert back to "Web Connect", but one could try making a copy of one's current file (making sure to keep a backup), and then experimenting with it to see how it can be done, if the annoyance factor of waiting that long is large enough to try and circumvent, while Quicken takes it time in trying to solve the problem.0 -
It is straight forward to revert back to Web Connect; however, in my view, Web Connect is very inconvenient to use to download daily from multiple financial institutions. OSU takes a long time run (roughly 3-4 minutes), but I can do something else while it is running in the background, it requires no user interaction once initiated. When OSU runs at normal/full speed, it downloads from 3 financial institutions, obtains security quotes, and f/x rates all in about 20 seconds. When it is not running properly, it takes more than 3 minutes to complete.
