Their Are Quicken Components Still Open Error Message

.Michael P

I cannot download South State Bank since November 2025. No response from Quicken support. the message says I have components open and I must uninstall them but I have no idea where to do that or what components to uninstall. All other downloads from Credit card institutions and investments work. The error message suggestions do not work. I have deactivated and reactivated the one step…nothing

Hello @.Michael P,

Thanks for posting and for the detailed description of what you’re seeing.

To start with, I would recommend doing a clean uninstall/reinstall of the Quicken program.

However, before reinstalling, I have some follow-up questions to help narrow down what might be causing this:

• Where is your Quicken data file stored?
  Is it on your local hard drive (C: drive) or in a cloud-based or external location such as OneDrive, Dropbox, or a USB drive?
• Are you using a VPN on this computer? If yes, does disabling it make any difference?

About reinstalling Quicken

Reinstalling Quicken will not affect your existing data file. However, if you want, you can save a backup as a precaution.

• File > View/Restore Backups...

Please refer to the following support articles for instructions on uninstalling and reinstalling Quicken:

• Uninstalling Quicken (Windows 11 instructions are provided below; you can also find Windows 10 and Windows 8 instructions in the link, if needed)
  • Windows 11
    • Click the Start button and select Settings (gear icon).
    • Select Apps from the settings list, then click Installed apps.
    • In the Installed apps list, scroll down to Quicken, click the three dots menu, then select Uninstall.
    • Click on Uninstall again to confirm and follow through the prompts until the program is removed.
• Reinstalling Quicken

Important extra step (recommended):
After uninstalling—but before reinstalling—please do the following:

1. Open Windows File Explorer
2. Navigate to:
   This PC > C: Drive > Program Files (x86)
3. Delete the folder titled “Quicken”
   (This does not delete or affect your data files.)

Once that folder is removed, proceed with reinstalling Quicken and then open your existing data file.

Let us know the answers to the questions above and whether reinstalling improves the behavior—we’ll go from there.

Thank you!
