POOR Performance

rraisley

I am so sick of supposed new features and enhancements, which I never need or use, and once again ruining the basic operation of the program. I have Version 40.13, build R40.13 running on Windows 10 64 bit. A normal 1-step update, that used to take well under a minute, is now almost 5 minutes. Updating a SINGLE investment account, which used to take maybe 10 seconds, is now over a minute. All the while, the background screen flashing, and blanking and flashing. It seems like this has gone on for years: having a nice, quick reliable version of the program, then an update and everything "normal" falls apart. It'll probably be fixed, some time (every time I update it says a new version of the program is available, and every time I click View Update, it says I already have the Latest version.

It's done this whole slow down thing dozens of times over the years, and I usually just grin and bear it (when I've contacted support asking how to go back to the previous version, I've been told that's impossible). I'd still be using the last CD version of the program, as it did everything I wanted much quicker, if I weren't required to update each year to have banking and such work.

I've been using Quicken for over 20 years, and this is by far the worst performing version of any.

You can go back to R39.23 by downloading and installing the Mondo patch from here: http://www.quicknperlwiz.com/quicken-subscription-patches.html

To revert to an earlier release, I suggest you perform a clean uninstall, install while disconnected from the internet, update by applying the appropriate Mondo Patch, and restoring a data file saved prior to updating from the earlier patch release. Normally, I would provide a link to the Quicken Support page on the clean uninstall however, Quicken Support decided to archive the page mistakenly thinking it was no longer needed. Here's a link to the page as saved on Internet Archive: https://web.archive.org/web/20210510044051/https://www.quicken.com/support/using-qcleanui-uninstall-quicken To update Quicken, I recommend you download and apply the appropriate Mondo Patch: https://www.quicken.com/support/patching-updates-windows, https://www.quicken.com/support/reinstalling-and-patching-your-quicken-subscription-version-after-your-membership-has, or http://www.quicknperlwiz.com/quickenpatches.html

To prevent Quicken from applying an update without your approval, I suggest you set Windows UAC settings appropriately (choose default or always notify).

Note: The Quicken subscription's Quicken file is supposedly still compatible with Quicken 2016 and Quicken 2017.

Thanks for the info. I refused to upgrade some time ago, for a while, but then had to when working with stocks or something forced me to. Like the post I saw on Quicken yesterday, that says that we have to have near the latest before a new update comes out that changes all the banking transactions. They change enough to require you to change, then mess stuff up. I think I have to just hope they fix the update issue, then maybe not upgrade again until I'm forced to.
