20+ years i've used quicken.
Why, after, doing an update, do I have to use task manager to stop the download cycle, close, then reopen Quicken to see what has downloaded and use Quicken?
Hello @bethlawyer,
Thank you for posing this question.
I have some follow-up questions for you.
Something we can try is validating your data file.
To do this:
Once that is done, check to see if the issue persists, and let me know how it goes.
Thank you!
Thank you for offering to help me resolve this issue.

@bethlawyer,
Thank you for following up with that information!
Can you please confirm where your data file is located and whether or not it is being backed up/synced by any third-party services?
I ask these questions because if your data file is not in the default location, C:>Users>username>Documents>Quicken, then my suggestion would be that you move it there. Using it from an external location can cause damage to your file.
The same thing applies to allowing third-party services to back up or access your main, active data file. This can also cause damage. So I would suggest excluding your file if this is something you already have in place.
Looking forward to your response!
Just checking in, we haven't heard back from you in a while.
Do you still need assistance?
I have given up on downloading transactions, just go to the individual site and manually doing my entries. Nothing has worked so far. It gets hung up even if I individually try updating on Discover, PNC and Fidlity. Nothing has worked to correct this. I began having issues last November after updating Quicken. Very frustrating.
Thank you for following up, though I am sorry to hear you have given up.
I am glad you have found a way to work around the issue, but if you would like to begin troubleshooting again, please give Quicken Support a call so they can walk through possible causes and troubleshoot with you in real-time.
Thanks again!
