I've been using Quicken since 1987, and I have never encountered anything like this before.
I opened Quicken after having not touched it since April 16th 2024 - the last backup file is on that date - and in one checking account all withdraws/transfers have reverted back to the category that they came in from the bank. All other transactions' categories and notations in that checking account appear correct.
On all of my other accounts, there are missing transactions as if nothing had updated from as far back as October 2022. The last thing I did on April 15th was to create a report. That report is there, it just lacks the information from the missing account transactions. In the account list, it can be seen that I last updated all current accounts on April 13th.
If I open the file I saved from last year on April 15th 2023, the transactions that are now missing from the current accounts registers show 2023 transactions there through April - it's only the April 2024 backups that appear to be corrupted.
Here's the the real issue with this: I can easily download the missing files from the accounts. What takes time is getting the categories correct and those sometimes take research to determine the who and what. That's time taken is what I've lost here.
I tried searching for other reports of this occurring, but I'm not sure what search terms to use. Anyone heard or experienced a similar problem?
Here's the strangest thing: On the account that lost all transactions through October 2022, there is one random transaction from 2023 and one more from 2024.
I have other backups that occurred from April 2023 through April 2024, but I did not update/correct the auto-fill categories there - I'm forced to do that for business accounting only in April.
