Vanguard will not update.
When will this be resolved?

I am getting the same error on Vanguard since this morning. I submitted a problem report. My connection is Direct Connect.
Yes - the same error on Vanguard.
Vanguard won't update for me either but my error code OL-295-A

Yes, getting the very same OL-290-B error during several attempts today. No problem logging into Vanguard via the web but not able to run One Step Update in Quicken.
@Doug88 I see that @Quicken Laura has provided some documentation for your error, in another thread. Hopefully it will help resolve the issue, but please keep her updated.
Since early morning on November 8, I've been getting OL-290-B errors during DL attempts, only with Vanguard. All other sites work OK. Has anyone else had this problem with Vanguard?
yes. I have had this problem since 11/7
also, right now at 7:47, 11/9
I use Quicken Classic Premier

Hi @Dennis Mc & @TimL,
Our team is aware of the OL-290-B errors affecting connections to multiple financial institutions in the latest Quicken version (R70), and we’re actively working to resolve the issue.
In the meantime, as a temporary workaround, we recommend reverting to the previous version (R69). You can find step-by-step instructions in the following support article: https://www.quicken.com/support/reinstalling-and-patching-your-quicken-subscription-version-after-your-membership-has/

Same problem OL-290-B with Vanguard downloads.
Those linked instructions for reverting to a prior patch are for a membership that has expired. They seem kinda nuclear. My membership hasn't expired; do I really need to uninstall Quicken and go thru all that just to revert to the R69 version?
I connect to Vanguard by the Direct Connect protocol and that has worked for a long time. Yesterday and today I get Error OL-290-B with "Try Again Later". Has this been seen by others?
Having the same issue with Vanguard not updating. When I do the One Step Update, this is the only indication I receive that something went wrong with Vanguard. The second screen shot does not show me there was an issue when the update completes.
In the meantime, the recommended workaround is to revert to version R69 by following the instructions in this support article
@Quicken Laura I reverted to R69.53. I get an "OL-295A" error when trying to update Vanguard accounts.
Is there a specific version of R69 that we need to revert to work around the problem?
Same problem here. Started Sunday November 8th, thought it was weekend maintenance. Now Monday 6:52AM pacific time still a problem
Same problem here…
I reverted to Quicken Premier R69.53 and am still getting rejected by Vanguard servers (295-A)
Same here. I am unable to connect to any Vanguard accounts. It also started on Sunday, 11/8. I see there is another message about OL-290-B accounts failing, but that message doesn't include Vanguard in the list, and that message suggested reverting to R69…
Here is the Quicken Alert. Quicken is currently investigating the issue. Even though Vanguard is not listed, this error seems to affect accounts with Direct Connect that upgraded to R70.20.
OK, makes sense, I am on R70.20. I'll wait a few days and check Vanguard on the web for a while. Thanks.
Same issue for me, OL-290-B error for Vanguard, several days now (11/09/2026). Quicken Classic Premier R70.20 on Windows 11. - Is there a timeline for a fix? - Is there any workaround besides uninstalling and reinstalling an earlier version? As someone else said, this sounds like the "nuclear option" and I'm worried this will cause other problems. This is very disruptive, and communication on this problem has been lacking.
Same - OL-290-B error for Vanguard. Classic Deluxe R70.20 on Windows 11. Occurred November 8 and 9, so far.
Until the problem is fixed, is the any reason to not download the QFX (Web Connect) file and import?
@mvwabc I can't think of a reason not to, if it works. My accounts are with Wells Fargo and downloading a QFX file worked just fine for me before I was able to go back to R69.53 and update via OSU. I don't see a reason why it wouldn't work with Vanguard.
@mvwabc If your Vanguard account is an old one with an account number in Quicken that is an old one that begins with 2 digits and a letter like 40V, you may have trouble reconnecting with Direct Connect after downloading via QFX.
You may need the old account number so be sure to record it before doing the QFX download.
I also went through the process to revert to R69.53. I now get an OL-295A error when updating my Vanguard accounts. I suggest removing the instructions on reverting to the older version since it trades one error for another.
