Solutions

The methods to make your QuickBooks usable again are mentioned below-

Solution 1- Try opening a different company file while suppressing QuickBooks

The software automatically opens the company file you were working on whenever you launch QuickBooks. The software will not run if this file gets damaged and develops errors whenever it tries to process it. If so, you’ll have to open a different company file in your QuickBooks. This will give an idea of whether the issue occurred due to a company file or it was the software’s fault. Use the steps mentioned below-

• Go to the search panel on the taskbar and type ‘QuickBooks.’
• Press Ctrl on your keyboard and launch the software from the search results.
• Keep the key pressed until the No Company Open window appears or the software develops an error.
• If you see the No Company Window, try opening a different company file.

If the company file opens, then the issue is resolved, and the software will not cause problems while opening. So if you still face an error, try the next solution.

Solution 2- Utilize QuickBooks Tool hub to repair software issues

QuickBooks Tool hub provides various tools to diagnose and repair common issues in the software. You might also face trouble opening your QuickBooks if some of its program files get damaged, which causes the software to malfunction. Visit the Downloads & Updates page of the QuickBooks website to download the latest QB tool hub version on your system. After the file is completely downloaded, apply the following steps-

• Double-click on the downloaded QuickBooksToolhub.exe file to open it and follow the installation instructions.
