System Hangs/Freezes on startup (Q Mac)

Quicken Classic - Deluxe Version 7.10.0 (Build 710.55343.100)
MacOS 15.1
Case Number: 1136236

Expected Behavior: Application opens at startup
Actual Behavior: System appears to Hang or Freeze at startup. Circular button with the update arrows spins as if they system is performing a sync with external banks. Connection status does not log an update. System hangs for 15-30 seconds with spinning beachball indicating that MacOS is hung as well.

Solutions attempted:
1. Restore Data File to pre application update - Activity Persists.
2. Turn off Settings>Mobile & Web Sync - Activity Persists
3. Clear out all Cloud Accounts under Settings>Connected Services and reset - Activity Persists
4. Reset all Bank Connections - Activity Persists
5. Sign out of Quicken; Sign Back in - Activity Persists

Support person indicates that system is doing internal checks at startup and even though it looks like it is synching with the external entities, that is not happening.

Support suggests that it can be switched off in Windows Application (not helpful)

I have log files, but they are unable to be uploaded

    Spent frustrating time with Quicken Support (Jairo).

    This is a "feature" of Quicken Mac, not a bug.

    On the Mac, the system is set up to do three things on startup:
    1. System Update;
    2. Cloud Update; and
    3. Bank Update.

    Unexplained is that the Bank Update leaves no trace in the Quicken logs. It also does not update transactions, so presumably is looking for a good connection to external banks(?).

    According to CustSupport, This behavior cannot be disabled on the Mac, but it can be disabled in Windows.

    So, to them, it's absolutely "normal" behavior, but strangely it does not perform the same checks on my other data files.

    Console Log is filled with:
    2024-10-31 16:58:14.742 Quicken[92133:3710945] Quicken transaction for deletion doesn't exist: sid = 457327161102382850
    2024-10-31 16:58:14.745 Quicken[92133:3710945] Quicken transaction for deletion doesn't exist: sid = 457327161085605632

    As well as multiples of:

    2024-11-01 07:20:02.918 Quicken[3182:4922829] Uploading incomplete DC shadow account - missing institution login or aggregator cpId

    And multiples of:

    2024-11-01 08:01:34.590 Quicken[4165:4970816] NOTE: Creating positions for 10 orphan securities

    Hoping that this gets fixed in a future release.

    I might suggest deleting the quicken preferences file, rebooting, and see what happens.

    Put it in the trash but don't empty it. This way if Quicken complains you can put the original plist file back.

    Maybe it's corrupted.
