Updating Quicken?
in [Quicken]

From: Robert Neville on 5 Jan 2010 10:50 Upgraded to QD2010 last week and spenta couple of days cleaning up a relatively large data file with 15 years or so of history. All is working well expect for one small problem: The up/down arrows in the system tray ("updating quicken") aren't going away. They normally only appear there when there is an actual online download inprocess. The download goes fine, but every morning I see the arrows remain there. Took a look in the connection log - it has net status 0 entries for each financial entity which I take to mean all is well. The OFX log is a little harder to read, but I didn't see any problems there either. Doing a manual update works just fine, but doesn't clear the arrows. Anyone else see this?

Are we talking about the Windows system tray? If so, unlike you or Bob, I never see anything in the Windows system tray that has to do with Quicken updating. Q2008, Q2009 or Q2010. -- John Pollard

Q2008, Q2009 or Q2010. Yes - the little "one up one down" arrow icon in the system tray. If you hover the mouse over it, it says "Updating Quicken". Double clicking on it starts Quicken up. In the past, it only showed up when the background agent is downloading transactions. Since I have Quicken set up to download early in the morning, I never see it. Now it seems to stay in the tray after the first automatic (scheduled) download.

Hi, Robert. I've been using Quicken and Windows even longer than John and I don't recall that I've EVER seen a Quicken icon in the System Tray/Notification Area. Which version of Windows are you running? And EXACTLY which version of Quicken? As it says in my Sig, I'm running Q2010D in Win7 Ultimate x64. There's no Quicken icon in the Notification Area - and even when I click the popup to see the dozen or so hidden ones, there's still none for Quicken. And none appears when I do a One Step Update. When I click to Customize that area, Quicken is not among the 17 icons offered. Maybe there is a setting in Quicken that I've missed, but I don't see such an option anywhere in Edit | Preferences.
