Quicken on Windows 10 has been insisting that I update my Bank of America / Merrill Lynch accounts. So I agree, go through the bank login page and Q shows me all of my accounts at the bank - checking, brokerage, credit card, etc.
All but one have the dropdown where I can choose add / link / don't add. The one exception being my trad IRA account (the dropdown is disabled and the only option is don't add). All of these accounts have been in Q - and downloading more or less happily - for a very long time, but in this update dialog, whenever I select "link to existing account", the list that is shown (i.e. the accounts that I can link to), the list never contains the account I need to link to and often only shows accounts that have been closed for years.
IOW, the list is always some strange subset of the existing (both active and closed) Q accounts, but the account that should be linked is never in the list. I think I saw this before a long time ago (I've been using Q for decades and have worked through / around an insane number of glitches and bugs over the years), and I think I resolved it by telling Q to add the bank accounts as new and then copy/pasting all of the transactions from the existing / correct accounts inside Q, but now it's happening with every single account, and I just don't have the patience to deal with it the hard way.
In the attached screen shot I'd like to link the main checking account (which has been in Q for years), but the only options for linking are a bunch of old / closed accounts (it shows half a dozen of them, all of them closed, but I cropped out most of them). You can also see that the trad IRA (the one account that cannot be added at all for some unknown reason) ends in [Removed - Partial Account Number] but Quicken shows a nickname of "Investment XX[Removed - Partial Account Number]" for it, which is also an ancient account closed years ago.
Any suggestions? TIA!
