Guide Computer Software Quicken Unable to open source file - Quicken will SOMETIMES not find your file Updated October 24 2024
We were having the issue of Quicken not finding the data file about half the time. Quitting and opening it again had a 50/50 chance of working.

Quicken support sent these instructions to follow:
1: Uninstall Quicken from the programs x86 file, from the program data file and from the roaming file.
2: Reset the computer and install the latest version of the Quicken application.
3: Before opening Quicken, try disabling any 3rd party apps, such as VPN, Firewalls and Anti-virus. Check the Windows Defender settings.
4: Uninstall and Reinstall Webview 2 Runtime: Link to download the latest WebView 2 runtime - https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=2124703 (After downloading from the link, open the folder that the file was downloaded into, right-click on the download, and RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR)
5: After downloading the Webview2, reset the computer again.
6: Open Quicken, it should be running as normal.

After uninstalling Quicken I also did:
Deleted the Quicken subfolder from both:
C:\ProgramData
C:\Program Files (x86)

Renamed the Quicken subfolder here:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming

I checked the Registry and did not see a Key for Quicken.

Run sfc /scannow

After installing Quicken:
I added the folder "C:\Program Files (x86)\Quicken" to the Exceptions list in the Antivirus software (Malwarebytes and Bitdefender in my case)
Ran Quicken once as Administrator, exited, and then ran it as non-admin

After doing these steps then Quicken was opening the file up every time.
