    Don't know if you had any success, but I finally just let it continue to run during the optimization and execution step. It took about 45 min to 1 hr and then finally finished.

    For those that finally got it to run - which release….. Help —> About Quicken

    as "latest" is meaningless, as it could be any R48.xx

    QWin - R54.16 - Win10

    After the latest update the app will not open fully. It stays stuck on the blue splash screen with the Quicken logo.

    Re: Help > Report a problem

    I typed up a message here and attached about 100k of additional log and PNG files but received the following when I clicked Send to Quicken:

    "Unable to send report to Quicken, please try again."

    Why? This error message should provide useful information.

    Unsurprisingly it failed when I tried it again.

    I'm using Quicken R46.12 on Windows 10.

    Done! Made mention of your name and path to this discussion.

    @User5910 I am sorry about that. I would just submit the files requested first and then try the others.

    I finally cancelled it after 30+ hours. Quicken did start and I submitted a problem report under subject Patch & Upgrade. I attached all files available. According to Help → About, I'm using Version R48.9 Build: 27.1.48.9

    Is there a way to stop quicken from auto installing when opening? I just checked preferences and I don't see a setting to turn off auto install of updates.

  • Ps56k2

    @JohnB67 - the only way to prevent QWin from auto installing is to use the Windows security feature called User Access Control - UAC - to control, prohibit, and prompt you for any software updates to your system

    Here is how I was - unexpectedly - able to overcome (not fix) the problem.

    During the Nth (4th or 5th) attempt I killed the MSI Cleanup task under the Quicken task group when it reached that "Optimizing and Executing files" stage and hung there for about 5 minutes. I cannot reproduce the exact picture but imagine that it says "MSI Cleanup " instead of "Windows host process":

    After killing the task, the Setup window message displayed "Update successfull" and now I'm running version R48.9

    I hope, this helps the devs troubleshoot the problem.

    I killed the MSI Cleanup task and that worked for me too!

    Can't speak for everyone but it worked flawlessly for me.

    I finally decided to give it a shot. I ran a validation on my data file and all was good. Created 4 different backups of my data and then used Help → Check For updates and allowed the installation of 48.15. No errors. I've only briefly tested, but everything seems good.

    Problem is still there with SR Version R48.18 HF3 (Apr, 2023)

    Are there any pending Windows Updates that need to be installed and require a reboot when done? Do that first, then reboot.

    When done, please download and install the latest Mondo Patch file, R 49.22, from https://www.quicken.com/support/update-and-mondo-patch-20182019-release-quicken-windows-subscription-product

    I experienced the same issue with the latest (48.18) update. No pending WUs. I've solved the problem in exactly the same manner as I´d described on March 18, 2023.

    I have to say I'm a bit disappointed in that so many people are experiencing this issue yet all we get from support over and over is "please send us your logs". If that many people are experiencing the problem, safe bet your QA folks should have no problem reproducing the problem without people's logs. Although I would add if the QA folks were doing their job properly, this update with this issue should have been caught in their testing before releasing. BTW I worked in QA in a software company for over 6 years so I speak from experience. Lets get it together Quicken.
