Write Failed. So not flushing data to the file. Messages
Just updated to version R57.26 and receiving "Write Failed. So not flushing data to the file" error. I reviewed recent post indicating Windows Ransomware issue, but I'm running McAfee Virus Scan. How can I solve this?

If you haven't done so already, please do the following actions:
- 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.
- Reboot Windows.
- Start Quicken. Do not run One Step Update.
- Run BOTH Validate and Supervalidate to attempt to repair your Quicken data file.
- 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

Help us out here, please.
What is the complete Path name to your Quicken data file? Drive letter + Path + File Name + Extension, please, (e.g., C:\Users\username\Documents\Quicken\QDATA.QDF)?Is any cloud backup service accessing your files? Microsoft OneDrive, Dropbox, etc.? By default, OneDrive should be active on your system and accessing your \Documents folder.

updating the latest patch solved the problem; when I super validated one of my accounts updated with a very negative balance. I re-opened my last backup file and now back to business.
