Greetings Quicken User,

 

We have a potential fix for the crash which you have seen in previous builds when performing one step update.

 

Download the below build, extract it and run the Quicken.exe for using the build.

    I'd say "No" based on the URL alone.

    Hello @dplaces,

    Thanks for reaching out!

    Yes—this is legit.

    Aravind Dakaraju is a real Quicken employee, and our teams do sometimes reach out and send test/hotfix builds through direct links when troubleshooting escalated issues like the One Step Update crash. The email domain (which I have removed the email for privacy) and the download link are legitimate.

    As always, make sure you back up your Quicken data file before running any test builds, just to be safe.

    Hope that helps!
