Any failure to update Quicken 2015 should be addressed with the following steps.Ġ. This is known to affect update 6 as of January 2014 and update 10 as of January 2015.

This can be caused by a bad internet connection or by a ill-formed patch from Intuit. If the updates fail, Quicken 2015 is unable to launch. HOWEVER: Whenever I download the update files myself and run them, there are NO PROBLEMS.During launch, Quicken 2015 checks for updates. It's gotten to the point where, when Quicken successfully starts, I leave it running for 3 weeks, and sure enough, if I have to close it, the program is locked because of a forced update. I read the post about deleting the 'stage' folder, but that did not help much yesterday when I could not start my Quicken for about 45 Minutes. Maybe something simple like a PROMPT, asking 'New update, do you want to update (y/n)?' would be better than the program being FORCED to download the update, and then being locked out of the program. There should be a way to permanently shut off all forced updates, so we can choose to download the updates manually, or skip them when they are problematic.ĮVERY TIME there has been an update in this last year, either my main quicken file was DESTROYED, or the Program LOCKED UP during the force update process. And then ASKED me if I wanted to update once I got in and ran an update. Which I force closed again, and then the next time I did not have to run as Admin, it just opened. Finally I ran qw.exe 'as administrator' and THEN the force-update window showed. I have to manually force qw.exe OFF and restart.

Is there NO way to permanently shut off automatic program updates? Every time a forced update tries to worm it's way in during startup, it prevents Quicken from loading.
