How to go back to a previous version of Quicken Canada (edit)

You can download and install the desired version from here: https://www.quicken.com/support/reinstalling-and-patching-your-quicken-subscription-version-after-your-membership-has-1 .

With QWin US there is no need to uninstall the currently installed version. During the installation process the older version will over-write the newer version. I'm assuming that it will work the same way with QWin Canada.

I hope this helps you.

(BTW, your English is fine.)

Ah, yes, the UAC settings….I should have mentioned that. Here is how I have mine set. Every time Quicken tries to automatically update the version Windows prompts me to decide whether or not to let the update proceed so I can keep my installed version until I am ready to update the version.

I did try to download the patch dating April 2023. I followed the instructions but sadly, my Q version stayed the same. It looks like the patch doesn't open normally because nothing happens. Is it because I renewed my membership on Sept 1st ?

Your renewal of membership on Sept 1 should not have stopped you from downgrading the version you are using. After you downloaded and saved the patch file to your hard drive, did you right click on that downloaded file and select Run as administrator?

If do did not do that, then do it. But do not do it until you get your UAC settings adjusted. If you try to downgrade the version without first adjusting your UAC settings, then the next time you open and run Quicken you will likely be upgraded to the current version, again.

Since I use Windows in French, can't find the control center you are talking about.

To find the UAC setting popup: Control Panel > System and Security > Security and Maintenance > Change User Account Control Settings. In order to be able to do this you might need to be running your computer as an Administrator.

If because of the language difference you still are having difficulty finding the UAC settings, you could try to search the Internet for UAC. That should bring up some web articles showing you how to find and adjust the UAC settings.

@Danielle Dallaire - You might want to confirm that your UAC setting is set to Always notify. If it is not set to that, change the setting to that and then click on OK (very important) to save the setting.

Then download the R48.15 patch (from April 2023), again, from https://www.quicken.com/support/reinstalling-and-patching-your-quicken-subscription-version-after-your-membership-has-1 , just to make sure you have the correct version downloaded.

Right click click on the R48.15 patch that you downloaded and select Run as Administrator.

Your Quicken installation should now be reverted to R48.15. Confirm it at Help > About Quicken.

When you open and run Quicken in the future, if Quicken tries to update the Quicken version, there should be Windows popup asking if you want to let the update to proceed. Be sure to decline (I think it will be a "No" button).

Let me know whether or not this resolved the issue for you.

Official Quicken toll-free number is 1-888-311-7276 (which is now hard to track down; any other numbers online are typically/all scams). If you have Quicken PREMIUM, [Removed - Premium Support Phone Number] for front-of-the-line service (which can be found in your Quicken Profile).
