What does this change in update name for one of my accounts mean?

I have had a stable accounts list for quicken for about three years. One account, "Fidelity Investments," inactive most of that time but still listed and NOT selected for update, suddenly this morning is changed by Quicken. I haven't touched account names, especially this one, for those three years. Here's the account name change in the update window:

I have no idea why these prefix and suffix were added nor do I know what they mean. Can anyone shed some light on why Quicken made this change. A bit concerning. Thanks for any help.

    Fidelity is in the process of dropping the Direct Connect (DC in the image) download method and changing everything over to the Express Web Connect + method.

    The name change is due to that. If you search this forum for Fidelity, you will find a BUNCH of recent posts about how badly that process is going and that it is currently on hold awaiting a resolution to those issues.

    If you are truly still using Quicken 2016 (as indicated next to your avatar) which is not supported for online Quicken features, I can't explain why it was changed at all.

    Does it matter that Fidelity Investments hasn't been selected to update for a couple of years and this just popped up about a week ago? I do have benefits from my employer, but that premium is automatically drawn from my bank. I don't have a direct account with Fidelity.
