I am also receiving an OL-295A error connecting to Vanguard. QWin R60.20. It worked fine in the morning of 2/20, broken 2/21. Here are the results from CONNLOG.TXT after attempting Update Transactions from the gear menu of a Vanguard account:

I had s Sell transaction yesterday.
When I download a QFX file from Vanguard and import to Quicken, I get the message "There are no new transactions but balances have been updated." Sure enough, if I do a Reconcile Shares, the share balance reflects the sale but no new transactions show up. This appears to be a Vanguard problem.
I have sent a report as requested by @Quicken Anja below.

And why is it that my One Step Update Summary window only shows "One Step Update Complete" after this error? Quicken never shows me status for Vanguard anymore.

I am having the same issue

You should be able to correct the problem of the OSU result details not being displayed with the following procedure. Note this will not correct the current problem with Vanguard, it just fixes the problem with the One Step Update (OSU) results not being displayed.
- Do a OSU and then Exit Quicken
- In Windows explorer, navigate to C:\ProgramData\Quicken\Inet. If you don't see the C:\ProgramData folder, it is hidden by default. In Windows 11 Windows Explorer, click on View then Show and select Hidden items to show the hidden folders. You should also select File name extensions under Show to see the ".dat" part of the file if that is not already selected.
- In the Inet folder, open the folder that matches the name of your active QDF file and look for the runtime.dat file. If there is no such folder, it may be because you have renamed your Quicken file at some point. In that case, search the Inet folder to find the runtime.dat file that has a time and date that matches your recent OSU. For me the folder is QDATA, which is (or was 25 years ago) the default Quicken file name.
- Once you have found the correct runtime.dat file, rename it to runtime-old.dat or something similar. Quicken will create a new runtime.dat to replace the damaged one.
- Restart Quicken and do another OSU. Now the detailed results should be displayed.
Good luck! Please let us know if you were able to find the correct runtime.dat file and if renaming it fixed the problem.

Cannot access Vanguard today thru Quicken Windows Classsic to OSU or setup new Vanguard account. I can thru my browser go direct w/o issue. Therefore there is a link failure between Quicken and Vanguard, Please let us know when this gets fixed. Thanks!!

Sorry, I should have provided more commentary in my earlier post.
It is not unusual for a financial institution to cut off all connections to all Quicken products as they attempt fix a connection product for one Quicken product. In the QMac Announcement it says that the new connection method issue affects only QMac but the first thing that came to my mind when I read it was "I wonder how long it will be before QWin is impacted?".
OL-293/294/295 error codes often indicate that the financial institution has blocked QWin DC connections. And it has occurred at the same time that the new QMac connection issues have been encountered. Coincidence? IMHO, not so much.
If you have not already done so you might want read the Support Articles for these error codes. While there are other possible causes for these error codes, to me it seems like Vanguard blocking Quicken is the most plausible one.:
Hopefully soon the Announcement will be updated to include QWin or a new Alert regarding QWin will be posted.

I am using Quicken for Windows version R61.2, build 27.1.61.2. While trying to download transactions from Vanguard brokerage accounts anOL-295-A message that states “your financial institution has rejected this transaction. Please contact them” is displayed. The issue has been reported for Quicken for Mac but it also happens with Windows 11

Same issue here. I tried to reset the account and reconnect using direct connect and got this error. I was able to import a qfx file and was told there were no knew transactions, which is true.

I recommend that we all use Help > Report a problem or click on the link at the top right of the OSU Summary page to send a report to Quicken. The more reports they get, the more attention this issue will get.

Vanguard on chat tells me I need to contact Quicken. Usual pointing the finger.

Same problem. Cannot connect to Vanguard. Error OL-295-A .

I contacted Vanguard, and they say that downloads to third-party portfolio tracking software is not available now, and they hope to have it running in the "near future" but would not give any idea of date or timeframe. They would not say anything more about it.
They did say that I could download transactions directly from the Vanguard site. I see that it will download in .QFX format, which can be imported into Quicken.

Same problem, OL295-A, unable to download from Vanguard. Started to happen right after loading the most recent Quicken update.

I have the same problem. Vanguard is rejecting Quicken requests. Problem has existed for several days now. I sent many error reports to Quicken and received no response. Worked last week. Vanguard is clueless. I've been through Vanguards on-line connect setup several times. Each time they say I'm already setup. I'm running Quicken Classic on Windows. All updates. Everything was working 2 or 3 days ago.

Same problem Quicken Classic for windows. If Vanguard is the problem, still hope Quicken will try to work with them to resolve this.

As of 2/21 1:20 EST, Quicken team is aware and working the issue. Always best to check https://community.quicken.com/categories/alerts. I have it bookmarked.
