I have found a workaround to this issue.
Open the 2023 company file in Quickbooks Desktop Pro 2023 (trial version if needed) and remove the bank feed settings from each account in the Chart of Accounts:
1) Deactivate All Online Services in the Bank Feed tab
2) Remove bank information in first account tab.
Confirm that the "lightning bolt" for online status no longer appears in the Chart of Accounts beside each account name / number.
Next select File, Create Backup Company file and make note of what you named the file and the file location.
Exit Quickbooks Desktop Pro 2023
Open Quickbooks Desktop Pro 2024 and select open company file from the 2023 backup.
It will then proceed to update the company file to the 2024 version.
Confirm in Chart of Accounts that the bank feed settings are disabled and remove any account names or numbers which might appear in the first tab under "optional"
Manually add back each account banking links by using the Banking, Bank Feeds, Import Web Connected file and manually select the .qbo file from your bank download which will then bring up the dialog to select an account to link the bank file too.
If your desired account does not appear in the drop down menu then most likely it is still enabled as being set up for importing bank files and wasn't disabled fully in the first step.
This has seemed to resolve my issue for now. Hopefully it will continue to work going forward and help anyone else who has the same experiences upgrading versions..
