    Hi @atereschyn,

    Thank you for reaching out. I’d be happy to help.

    Do you use automatic or manual (QFX) downloads? If you’re using manual downloads, please ensure the file type is .QFX.

    If you are using a QFX file, and Quicken is installed on your computer, please try the following steps:

    1. Locate the QFX file in File Explorer (typically in your Downloads folder).
    2. Right-click the file and select Properties.
    3. Under Opens with, click Change. Screenshot 2026-04-22 at 10.05.40 AM.png
    4. If Quicken is not listed, select Choose an app on your PC. Screenshot 2026-04-22 at 10.05.46 AM.png
    5. Navigate to:
      C:\Program Files (x86)\Quicken
    6. In the Quicken folder, select the qw.exe application and open it. Screenshot 2026-04-22 at 10.06.00 AM.png
    7. Click Set default.

    Once completed, try opening the file again to confirm it works as expected.

    I look forward to your response!
