I am a long time Quicken user (20+ years). On 3/2/25, I started Quicken and allowed it to update to R61.21. I used Quicken to manually update some of my accounts and before quitting tried to update my investment quotes as usual. It prompted me to login with my Quicken ID. When I tried to login, it gave me an error message that said: “We encountered an issue signing you in. This could be due to a server outage or problems with your internet connection….” After several tries, I was unable to log in or continue my Quicken session.
On 3/3/25, I called Quicken support and after a 20 minute wait, finally talked to a support person. I spent the next 2 hours on the phone with her as she read down a script and had me try various steps that included rebooting my modem, router and computer. I also uninstalled and installed Quicken again, created a new “test” file among other things. Finally she said the problem needed to be “escalated”, gave me ticket number and said I would be contacted via e-mail for further instructions. As of today, 3/7/25, I have only received an e-mail with a web address to the Quicken community.
My internet is functioning properly and I have no problems with my other applications. I am able to use my Quicken ID to login on “myaccount. quicken.com” and also on “community.quicken.com”. However, I continue to receive the same error message when I try to start Quicken. As of now, Quicken does not function other than giving me the “File” and “Help” drop down menus.
I am using Quicken Classic Premier R61.21, build 27.1.61.21 on a Dell M6700 Precision laptop computer running Windows 8.1 Pro.
