R64.35 Release Notes and Experiences

I think that the recent release fixed an issue I was having with auto-filling splits. Which is nice. But my major problems remain. I have to fix my paychecks every time I sync or validate the data file, then fix my tax planning tool because suddenly the tax calculations are inaccurate. I haven't seen much progress in the way of fixing all the other features that don't work, such as tons of problems with investments. I'm not buying another renewal this year. My current subscription expires in October of 2026. Quicken has til then to power through some of these very annoying bugs, and if I don't see some quality improvement, I'm jumping. I think that's more than reasonable. Putting Quicken on a 1-year notice. 😁

One thing that R64.35 on Windows 11 seems to have broken is the Contact Info link under Tools→Online Center. For all of my accounts, except for Vanguard, that link is greyed out. It was not this way on R64.30.

FWIW, Vanguard still uses Direct Connect.

I agree with the comments regarding non-descriptive notes on releases. I updated to R64.35 and have seen no change so far. However, the platform continues to crash/lock up with the hourglass swirling. It seems that I have to end the task every time I login for one reason or another. I've run validate and repair multiple times to no avail. Quicken has been my go-to financial software for probably 30 years, and it has been more unstable in the past few months than I ever remember it being.

By autofilling I mean when you have memorized payees with splits, and you click on one of the splits in the dropdown, it only fills in like the top category of that split. Nothing to do with what you are seeing, @Carl Davidson . I don't know how you are handling social security deposits, but if you are using Quicken's paycheck feature for them, that might be way. Paychecks get bugged on sync. It's been that way for a long time. I once did a clean new file, imported everything older, and it still resulted in issues. It's possible that the tax-assigned categories themselves are bugged. That might be what you are seeing.

Ahh in that case my autofill problem must have been solved when I reset my Quicken data in the cloud. I just did it because I saw that advice online somewhere.

Thank you for the clarification @Quicken John H and @Quicken Jeff . Although users prefer to see more fixes, your transparency is appreciated.

Hi @Quicken John H , thank you for clarifying. I do wonder though many have been reporting unstable software. In my case, it's one step update, it's freezing, crashing, or taking a really long time. But most frustrating it's doing something, deleting, adding, transferring or otherwise messing with the transaction, so that my balances are completely off. It's so bad I can't use it at all and need to go to a backup and start over because I can't figure out what it messed with. At this point I can't use your software or have to figure out to manually update the accounts. Please advise. No I don't have fidelity and yes I did update to 64.35.

@Carl Davidson , if you have the latest version, you are using the cloud data. Whether you like it or not.
