This showed up today while doing an OSU…… It has never been there before today using this computer.
MOBILE & WEB has never been activated on this computer either.
Also the OSU was much slower today.
It's processing the data file that was downloaded from your financial institutions and applying that data to your various Q accounts.
Also, you DO have a Q cloud account, even if you don't use QWeb or QMobile. Q itself holds certain info there.
@NotACPA THX for your answer. So none of my downloaded data is saved to the cloud. What info does Q keep in the cloud when one doesn't use Web or Mobile?
Mostly validation of your subscription status.
@NotACPA Subscription status and what else?
We will never know. This is the kind of thing that Quicken Inc (and Intuit before them) never tells the user.
The truth is this whole thread of "answers" simply guesses. The only thing that we really know is that your data file is never "stand alone" even if you don't use any online services. There is always the a "Quicken Cloud dataset" that Quicken exchanges data with.
And I think the main reason this question has been asked is because you don't see that message every time you run One Step Update, which implies that it isn't in the main One Step Update flow for updating the transactions. I doubt that it is for the subscription either, that isn't something I would think would take much time and they probably wouldn't want to announce it anyways.
@Chris_QPW Will monitor for a few days to see if it shows with each OSU. Do you see the same thing?
No, I don't see it each time I update. I might have seen it every once in a while though.
I just did an OSU on my 2nd computer and same results. I watched the OSU closely as it was working and where my screenshot of this thread says "Complete" that is what it ends up saying. BUT during the OSU it quickly flashes"Updating bank accounts" then the next thing it quickly flashes "Updating your data" and finally says "Complete".
