Quicken Account Update(s) this Morning, Not Working (Syncing Quicken Cloud?)

Dan13

In trying to Execute my Daily Updates this morning I have been receiving some "strange" Errors (Quicken Cloud Sync Errors) which also corrupted my file for which I had to Restore from a previous backup. Even upon updating again after the Restore, it seemed to work (taking a long time to process) but unfortunately, it was not a clean update giving me again another Quicken Cloud Sync Error listing a single transaction, dating back to 03/13/2026.

What is going on this morning, Quicken?

The file corruption was based on two accounts whereby the Total Balance was ALL Stars. One Account this was caused by a new record, that had a Bad Date and Stars (*****) within the Charge field which caused all the records afterwards, to therefore, have Stars (******). The Second Account, an existing record, it appeared, from way back, was also changed to to have Stars (******) within the Charge field. (These examples caused the accounts to be suspect in their accuracy, therefore, the best repair, I decided, was a Restore.

Given the above Issues, I Again, Restored my File. This time, I decided before I did anything else like a New Update, I would executed a Syncing Quicken and Quicken Cloud Update again. This took an excessive amount of time to perform. Resulting in the Same Error Message as before on a single transaction, dating back to 03/13/2026. It asked me to "Review the recommended (default) fixes, make changes if necessary, and then click Apply." Below the transaction listed, it says "Invalid answerValue for parameter transfer.clientId."

As a basis of fact, I did this Daily Update Yesterday, Successfully, without any issues!

Hi @Dan13,

Thanks for reaching out to the Quicken Community!

To better understand the issue, I'd like to ask you a few questions:

• Could you upload a screenshot of the error message you're seeing?
• Have you tried validating your data file? If not, you can do so by going to File > Validate and Repair File.
  • Once the validation is complete, please let me know what the validation report shows.

• Where is your Quicken data file located? To check, open Quicken and select File. At the bottom of the menu, just above the Exit option, you'll see the currently open data file with a check mark next to it. Please let me know the full file path shown there.

I look forward to your reply!
