Memorized Payee not filling in columns

Version R66.28 Build 27.1.66.28
The auto complete is not working for Memorized Payee. The pop-up shows the fields populated but when entered, only the Payee is populated.
Also Payees from years ago have re-appeared in my list.

I followed instructions to rebuild the list and I validated my QDF file. The problem persists

Is this a known problem?

    If you edited the Memorized Payee List entries, I think that updates the Last used date.

    There is certainly no harm in deleting memorized owners that you do not intend to use in the future.

    Check the settings at Edit > Preferences > Data Entry and Quickfill > "Complete fields using previous entries" and "Recall memorized payees."

    For some reason those settings are getting un-checked. It happened to me just now. I am quite sure I did not change them. No Quicken software updates have been downloaded recently, but I did receive the following Windows updates last night

    The "Recall memorized payees" was un-checked. I checked that box and restarted Quicken. That helped. Now if I use a Memorized Payee the Category is populated and correct.

    The memorized payee list is still corrupt in that payees that haven't been used in many years (or never) have a "Last Used" of 4/15/2026.

    Perhaps I should delete all the entries in the Memorized Payee list and start over
