Depends. If you're in the habit of keeping several graph reports open then you 
should go to 3.5, there was a webkit build problem in 3.6 and 3.7 that caused 
GnuCash to hang with that. There have been some new reports and some bug fixes, 
none of which I would consider deal-breaking but you can review the release 
notes at https://www.gnucash.org/news.phtml and decide for yourself.

Dear John,

I am using Win10 Pro. If I go back to gnucash 3.6, will I lose valuable
updates in exchange for OFX Direct Connect? It seems to be a choice or wait
and see if it is working in the next update.

Best wishes,

Please remember to copy the list on all replies.

What version of GnuCash will work with OFX depends on what OS you're using.
It's true that with the Windows and MacOS bundles 3.8 won't work, but if
you've installed 3.8 on Linux it will depend upon what version of AQBanking
the distribution that you use provides.

In the case of MacOS and Windows you can pretty simply install an older
version (3.7 for MacOS, 3.6 for Windows) from our SourceForge or Github
sites.

As a brand-new user you're first of missing that gnucash-devel (this list) is 
for developers to discuss GnuCash internals. Users should subscribe to 
gnucash-user. For your convenience I've copied that list on this reply.

The most likely answer to your question is that you haven't completed all of 
the steps in the AQBanking Setup Wizard so that there are no accounts set up. 
Some references: https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Setting_up_OFXDirectConnect for 
instructions on setting up.
http://ofxhome.com/ for the best information on bank parameters. This is the 
website that feeds the setup selection in the AQBanking Setup Wizard and it 
tests them daily. It's worthwhile to check the setup that you intend to use and 
make sure that it's still working: About 1/3 of them don't any more.
