A long-time user of Quicken Deluxe for Windows experienced issues downloading transactions from Fidelity after reinstalling the software.

Quicken had changed the way it connects to Fidelity, discontinuing Direct Connect, which caused problems with Fidelity accounts.

The user had been using Direct Connect without issues just days earlier and was never notified of the change.

Fidelity represents a large portion of the user's investment portfolio, making it unacceptable to have no access to account data.

Quicken support eventually gave up and told the user to call Fidelity, but the issue is Quicken's responsibility.

The user had to abandon Quicken altogether due to the lack of access to account data.
