Multiple, repeating scheduled transactions

Quicken Windows (latest subscription version) has created hundreds of duplicate scheduled transactions. For example, a Monthly scheduled transaction for AT&T has 15 duplicate transactions all with the same date of 11/23/2025. This is true for other scheduled transactions. How do I get this to stop, and how do I delete all the duplicate scheduled transactions? Deleting one transaction at a time is taking a great deal of time.

    It sounds as if you might have a "runaway" reminder. If all of those dupes are already in your register, you should be able to click the 1st then hold down SHIFT and click on the last then DELETE them all at once.

    THEN, also delete the scheduled reminder and re-build it.

    The transactions did not get posted to the register. They just come up as scheduled. I go into Tools/Bill and Income Reminders, and this is where the scheduled transactions are listed. I can only delete them one at a time, and this is taking forever. Even after deleting the scheduled transactions one at a time, another 15+ pop up as Upcoming again next month. Once I deleted all the October scheduled transactions, December and January popped up. I have not found a way to shut off the scheduled transaction creation.

    One more bit of information. When I sync Quicken and Quicken Cloud, it is taking about 10-15 minutes. It appears to be hanging up on the Scheduled Transactions. Once the Sync gets past Scheduled Transactions, it wraps up very quickly. Also, I have been using Quicken since the late 1990s, so I am certain there is a lot of data. Most accounts are not visible, and updates to those accounts are not on.

    You are not crazy. I have been battling this the past week. To Delete and reenter 30+ reminders is ridiculous. There is a bug that they aren't aware of clearly. I tried "enter transaction", "Skip Transaction". Nothing helps. I forecast 3+ months ahead with my actual balance to make sure I don't miss anything and the Pending Reminders or bills due notification causes crazy stress for me. I hope they fix it.

    I have attached a screenshot

    of just a few of the duplicate Scheduled Transactions. I have hundreds of them. And manually deleting them will take me many hours. I called Quicken tech support, and they were of no help. Their response was to delete them manually. The big problem is that if I do a Sync to the cloud, it hangs on the scheduled transactions and takes over 20 minutes to complete. I have decided to stop the cloud sync until they resolve the bug. If this continues, it will eventually render Quicken unusable. I have used Quicken since 1990, and I am seriously considering looking for another product and dumping Quicken if this is not resolved. Is there a site where we can submit bug reports to Quicken?

    Do not Sync to the cloud. That's what IMHO causes the problem in the first place.
    There are multiple discussions on this same subject. We're waiting for Quicken to figure out the cause and fix it.

    How to turn off Sync to Cloud for the current data file
    • Go to Edit / Preferences / Mobile and Web
    • Change the Sync radio button and set it to OFF

    After that, run Validate and Supervalidate. This might help eliminate the duplicates.

    I'll give it a try. Thanks for the input.
