Frequent hanging / crashing after latest update

rbennett00

Classic Business & Personal. Downloaded the latest update last week and since then cannot access one account without crashing to desktop, and One Step Update hangs every single time at the same spot (see screenshot). Tried restoring from backup, no change. Tried validating/repairing the datafile, no change. Not a huge datafile, but months of categorizing and matching transactions so I will not be happy if I've lost all of my data. Any advice?

Hello @rbennett00,

If you haven't already, I suggest you try signing out of your data file completely and then signing back in to refresh the registration token for your Online Connected Services. However, I do recommend that you first save a backup file prior to performing these steps.

1. Navigate to Edit
2. Preferences...
3. Quicken ID & Cloud accounts
4. Click Sign in as a different user (or it might say Sign in using a different Quicken ID)
5. Follow the prompts to Sign Out
6. Sign back in using your Quicken ID (email) and password
   
   

I hope this helps!

If you haven't done so already, please do the following actions:

1. Even if you are on the latest software level already, download and install the latest Manual Patch file from https://www.quicken.com/support/update-and-patch-20182019-release-quicken-windows-subscription-product to ensure your Quicken software is up to date and correctly installed.
2. Reboot Windows. While doing so, also reboot your Internet router/modem.
3. Start Quicken. Do not run One Step Update.
4. Run BOTH Validate and Supervalidate to attempt to repair your Quicken data file.
5. If nothing helps, try to restore your Quicken data file from an Automatic or Manual backup taken just prior to the problems first occurring. https://www.quicken.com/support/how-backup-or-restore-your-quicken-data

Validate and Supervalidate instructions

Validate: 
• Click File

• Reopen Quicken and see if the issue persists.
