Re: Step 7 V5 4 Windows 10

For simplicity, we generally recommend using the wsl --install to install Windows Subsystem for Linux, but if you're running an older build of Windows, that may not be supported. We have included the manual installation steps below. If you run into an issue during the install process, check the installation section of the troubleshooting guide.
We recommend now moving on to step #2, updating to WSL 2, but if you wish to only install WSL 1, you can now restart your machine and move on to Step 6 - Install your Linux distribution of choice. To update to WSL 2, wait to restart your machine and move on to the next step.
Builds lower than 18362 do not support WSL 2. Use the Windows Update Assistant to update your version of Windows. The Windows version 1903 support is also only for x64 systems. If you are using an Arm64 version of Windows, you will need to upgrade to Windows 10 version 2004 or later for full access to WSL 2. For more info, see WSL 2 support coming to Windows 10 Versions 1903 and 1909.
The Linux kernel update package installs the most recent version of the WSL 2 Linux kernel for running WSL inside the Windows operating system image. (To run WSL from the Microsoft Store, with more frequently pushed updates, use wsl.exe --install or wsl.exe --update.).
If you're using an ARM64 machine, please download the ARM64 package instead. If you're not sure what kind of machine you have, open Command Prompt or PowerShell and enter: systeminfo find "System Type". Caveat: On non-English Windows versions, you might have to modify the search text, translating the "System Type" string. You may also need to escape the quotations for the find command. For example, in German systeminfo find '"Systemtyp"'.
Once the installation is complete, move on to the next step - setting WSL 2 as your default version when installing new Linux distributions. (Skip this step if you want your new Linux installs to be set to WSL 1).
The first time you launch a newly installed Linux distribution, a console window will open and you'll be asked to wait for a minute or two for files to de-compress and be stored on your PC. All future launches should take less than a second.
There are some scenarios in which you may not be able (or want) to, install WSL Linux distributions using the Microsoft Store. You may be running a Windows Server or Long-Term Servicing (LTSC) desktop OS SKU that doesn't support Microsoft Store, or your corporate network policies and/or admins do not permit Microsoft Store usage in your environment. In these cases, while WSL itself is available, you may need to download Linux distributions directly.
Once the distribution has been downloaded, navigate to the folder containing the download and run the following command in that directory, where app-name is the name of the Linux distribution .appx file.
Once the Appx package has finished downloading, you can start running the new distribution by double-clicking the appx file. (The command wsl -l will not show that the distribution is installed until this step is complete).
If you are using Windows server, or run into problems running the command above you can find the alternate install instructions on the Windows Server documentation page to install the .appx file by changing it to a zip file.
Using Windows Terminal enables you to open multiple tabs or window panes to display and quickly switch between multiple Linux distributions or other command lines (PowerShell, Command Prompt, Azure CLI, etc). You can fully customize your terminal with unique color schemes, font styles, sizes, background images, and custom keyboard shortcuts. Learn more.
Hyper-V is a virtualization technology that is as valuable to college and university students as it is to developers and system administrators. Students can run many operating systems and apps on a single physical machine using Hyper-V virtual machines. This can be especially useful for computer science and engineering students who need to experiment with various software environments and coding projects. By enabling Hyper-V on their Windows 11 computer, students can save time and costs by eliminating the need for physical hardware, while also obtaining the flexibility and convenience of running different operating systems and applications on a single device.
This Step-By-Step guide will show you how to enable Hyper-V on your Windows 11 device. Everything from determining whether your computer is compatible to establishing the settings for Hyper-V will be covered and will provide you with a solid understanding of how to use Hyper-V on a Windows 11 enabled device.
After enabling Hyper-V on your Windows 11 machine, you may want to configure some settings to optimize your virtual machine performance. Here are some settings you may want to consider:
Hyper-V Manager dialog box
Enabling Hyper-V on your Windows 11 device is a quick and straightforward process that can benefit both educators and students. You can test software in different environments, create virtual machines for specific purposes, and save time and money by avoiding the need for physical hardware.
This post has covered the steps required to enable Hyper-V on your Windows 11 device. We began by determining whether your machine supports Hyper-V, and then enabled the service via the Windows Features panel. Finally, we reviewed some additional settings you may want to configure to improve the performance of your virtual machine.
Quicken Classic was working fine, When I updated to Windows, the One Step Update would lock up and I had to terminate Quicken via Task Manager. There was another discussion that was closed earlier in October. "Quicken will not complete One Step Update" However I have tried all of the actions described and it still does not work.
I have tried updating each of the accounts and was successful except for two Schwab accounts. I signed out of the Online service on those accounts and reenrolled them. It did one update. Trying One Step Update again was back to the original lock up behavior.
To help troubleshoot this issue, could you please provide more information? When did this issue start? When the One Step Update locks up, how long are you waiting for it to complete? Are you terminating the program through the Task Manager, or is Quicken closing on its own? Does the One Step Update lock up only when those Schwab accounts are selected? Since you mentioned this happened after your computer's operating system updated, did you already try uninstalling and reinstalling Quicken?
This started 10/20/2023 after I updated the PC to Window's 11. Thanks for having me go back and check possible causes of the failure. I have narrowed down the problem. I can include the Schwab accounts if I go into the Settings for One Step Update, deselect the "Download Quotes and investment information" item under Online Services before telling it to Update. So I tried to only select the "Download Quotes and investment information" (deselecting all of the accounts, it works fine.
The precise failure mode is that the Update Status screen comes up normally, but the little circles are not going around. I wait for about a minute. Then if I just click the screen in the Update Status window, the full Quicken Classic window (in the baxkground) goes completely black, and in a few seconds, the operating system comes up with an info/action window saying something like "the application has stopped responding, do you want to close the App or continue to wait." the first time I waited about a minute and nothing happened. so now as I am testing scenarios, once I get the close or continue popup, I choose close.
Online services, such as "Download quotes and investment information" don't let you redefine where it gets the information. It gives you the option to uncheck the box if you don't want it to download that information, and it gives you a link that lets you select which securities you want quotes for (the "select quotes" link on the One Step Update settings screen).
Since this issue started right after updating your computer's operating system, I suggest that you check for file issues by validating and/or super validating your data file. Please save a backup file prior to performing these steps.
Next, I suggest that you try creating a copy of your data file which will rebuild all of the internal lists and database tables. If successful, you would then move forward with the copied file. To create a copy, please navigate to File > Copy or Backup File... > Create a copy or template (see examples below) which will also allow you to select a date range to move forward with.
If you wish to move forward with your entire data file, please check the full date range of your entire data file before copying so you can enter the correct date range if you do not wish to "shrink" your file by eliminating certain dates.
It's important to know that all online services will be disconnected in the copied file, and you will need to sign back in with your Quicken ID and reconnect all of your online accounts, online billers, Quicken Bill Manager services, etc if you plan to use that copied file going forward. The reason for this is that the new copy also creates a new and separate dataset ID.
If the issue is not resolved in the copied file either, then feel free to switch back to your original file.
Thank you!
Is there a time when the best thing to do is to uninstall Quicken and reinstall it. I would be doing the install in Windows 11 so it might make a difference. If so, what are the caveats or special advice?
Uninstalling and reinstalling the program may correct the issue. While an uninstall should not affect your data file, it is always a good idea to backup your file prior to uninstalling the program. Once you have backed up the file, you can uninstall and reinstall Quicken.
