How can I fix "Please check internet connection" error message

MrVince

Hi,

I have a fresh install of Quicken on Windows 10 and I'm unable to open it. Every time I launche the software I get an error saying "Please check internet connection and try again". So, I did check and my internet connection is working flawlesly. No firewall problem, no DNS issue, etc.

If I look in the QCSLogs.txt file, there is 2 errors:

################### Thursday, April 11, 2024, 11:47:19 #####################
ERROR:UPSRestClientService::MakeHttpsRequest - authHeaderCollection is null

################### Thursday, April 11, 2024, 11:47:19 #####################
ERROR:UPSRestClientService::GetUserProfileInformationRequest - Webmethod call did not succeed

I thank you in advance for your help!

Hello @MrVince,

Do you use a VPN? Do you use an antivirus or malware software? Are you connected via wifi or ethernet?

Thanks!

What version of Quicken are you installing?

Have you recently enabled a VPN?
If so, this might be the problem. Try turning the VPN off, reboot with VPN disabled and see if that helps.
Is there a corporate or otherwise external firewall getting in the way? Contact the IT people maintaining the firewall and ask for permission.
If you're running Quicken and Windows under a VM, ensure that the VM does not block any incoming or outgoing IP ports.
Does your Antivirus software allow Quicken to connect to the Internet?
Quicken needs to be able to establish outbound Internet connections for the program to work.
For example, in McAfee Firewall, one user states "By editing the Quicken Firewall entry Selecting Incoming and Outgoing, and changing it from "Default" to "Open to all devices" it now works without having to turn off the entire firewall!"
See Check your firewall settings and ensure the following three entries are present, pointing to the Program Files folder that you actually installed Quicken in:

If necessary, contact the Antivirus / Firewall vendor's Support Center for assistance.
In Windows 11 or older Windows systems go to Windows Control Panel and select Internet Options (or in Internet Explorer, click on Tools / Internet options.)
Click the Advanced tab.
Scroll down the list to "Use TLS 1.x" and click to put checkmarks on all available choices even though some of them are no longer supported: "Use TLS 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 (if available)"
Turn off "Use SSL 3.0"
Click Apply. Reboot.
If all else fails: Try rebooting your network router. When done reboot your PC

any update on this issue? my renewal is in two weeks. if this error is not resolved, I will not be renewing Quicken

Because of this error message, I was not able to use my annual renewal of my Quicken Premier on my Windows 11 computer for many weeks. (I've been using Quicken since 1993). That's in spite of my internet access being perfectly fine for all my other numerous applications. (In an unsuccessful attempt to solve the problem, the Quicken tech support staff focused on adjusting firewalls and such on my internet security software.). Actually, as it turns out, the solution lies in addressing Quicken's heightened sensitivity to the internet security. In a long-shot effort (after many other types of efforts) to solve the problem, I downloaded, installed and activated my security software's VPN extension. Amazing—problem solved!😊
