Crashing on update
File crashes (closes) when doing update. Quicken Classic Deluxe, Windows 10. R55.23 Computer restart didn't help. Still crashes. Not every time, but frequently. Used "Update Now" on Home Dashboard screen. When reopen, the "Last Updated" date and time on the Home Dashboard screen is the prior updated time, but on the Investing screen, the Quotes say they were updated at the time of the crash.

Same problem here.

And the Home Dashboard date and time of update does not update. I've updated two times since this date / time, including moments ago.

If you haven't done so already, please do the following actions:
- Even if you are on the latest software level already, download and install the latest Manual Patch file from https://www.quicken.com/support/update-and-patch-20182019-release-quicken-windows-subscription-product to ensure your Quicken software is up to date and correctly installed.
- Reboot Windows.
- Start Quicken. Do not run One Step Update.
- Run BOTH Validate and Supervalidate to attempt to repair your Quicken data file.
- If nothing helps, try to restore your Quicken data file from an Automatic or Manual backup taken just prior to the problems first occurring. https://www.quicken.com/support/how-backup-or-restore-your-quicken-data

I had similar issues and all the validations did not help. Neither did reinstalling Quicken. However, I was able to take my Quicken file to a different computer, and then one step udpate worked without problems. So the problem was NOT in my QDF file.
What finally did seem to make the difference on my original computer was to uninstalll and reinstall the internal browser used by Quicken which is Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime. Since I did that a few weeks ago, no crashes. In addition, my one step updates that were taking something like 15 minutes dropped back down to a minute or two. I'm thinking that the cache for that browswer had some 'bad data' and reinstalling it was a way of clearing its cache, which I expect had not been done in 10 years.
I wonder if that would help anyone else. One can uninstall Microsft Edge ViewView2 from PC settings → Add or Remove programs, and then Quicken will prompt to reinstall it. It can also be downloaded from Microsoft. In addition, a web search finds procedures for just clearing its cache, which I have not investigated.

I didn't have the option to remove, but had the option to repair/reinstall (running Win 10) in Windows Add/Remove programs. OSU was definitely faster, but I can't comment on crashes until I've tried for a few more days, at least.

For UKR: While the crashing stopped, I followed your guidance downloading the latest Manual Patch and running Validate and Supervalidate. The most interesting thing the Data Log stated is: "The following transaction(s) involving transfers appear to be damaged. You should delete them and recreate as appropriate."
The approximately 40 transactions listed are for an investment account that was closed in 2016. (The investments in that account were transferred to a new account.) As my current investment accounts are up to date, I'm going to ignore this.
Thank you for your help.
