unable to set up account downloads after upgrade to 2020

I recently upgraded to 2020. After installation it would not perform one-step update, saying that Quicken online services were temporarily unavailable and to try after 10 minutes. I found a support answer that said I need to deactivate all the accounts, then reactivate them. When trying to reactivate them, I discovered that they would not reconnect. I tried Wells Fargo, Chase, and American Express, with no success--nothing happens after hitting the "connect button"

    If you haven't already, I suggest you reset the Quicken ID associated with the data file:
    1. Select Edit > Preferences...
    2. Select Quicken ID, Sync & Alerts
    3. Select Sign in as a different user
    4. Enter yes
    5. Select Sign Out
    6. Sign in with your Quicken ID

    Well, that made absolutely no difference. Still the same error message: "Quicken's Online service is unavailable at this time. Please wait at least ten minutes..."
    I'm still trying to reactivate the accounts, but whenever I click the "connect" button it flashes and does nothing.
