In this section, we will discuss the four general solutions to fix the update errors in QuickBooks. You can choose any one of the solutions mentioned below.


Solution 1: Checking the System Date and Time

It sounds a little weird, right? But yes, the incorrect date and time on the computer can interfere with the QuickBooks update process. Let’s check if the date and time on the system is updated. Here are the steps that you need:

  • You must right-click the clock icon on your desktop screen and select the option to Adjust Date/Time.

  • If it is not updated, you need to select the Change Date and Time option and update it. 

  • You must choose the OK button twice and close and reopen the QuickBooks desktop.

After the above process is followed, you can run the QuickBooks desktop update again. If not, you can proceed to the second solution.


Solution 2: Checking the Internet Connection Settings

Erratic internet supply can be the main reason for QuickBooks desktop update errors on your system. You can check the security of the internet connection through Chase Banking. Now, you need to start the QuickBooks desktop and do the following:

  • Browse the Help menu and select the Internet Connection Setup option from there.

  • Select the option Choose my computer’s internet connection settings to establish a connection when this application accesses the Internet and proceed to the Next button.

  • Now, you need to select the Advanced Connection Settings.

  • Now, you need to click on Restore Advanced Settings on the Advanced tab and select Done.

Now, proceed to the third solution.


Solution 3: Internet Security / Firewall Settings

Well, internet security or firewall settings can interfere with QuickBooks desktop updates. You need to disable/modify the firewall/VPN/Adblocker settings before proceeding with the QB desktop update.

You also need to verify the configuration of your Internet security settings and firewall software settings. You need to make sure that Ports 80 and Port 443 must be enabled and access must be allowed to the following files:

AutoBackupExe.exe

Dbmlsybc.exe

DBManagerExe.exe

FileManagement.exe

FileMovementExe.exe

IntuitSyncManager.exe

QBCFMonitorServices.exe

QBDBMgr.exe

QBDBMgrN.exe

QDGBSPlugin.exe

QBLaunch.exe

QBServerUtilityMgr.exe

QBW32.exe

QuickBooksMessaging.exe


After checking the access, relaunch the aQBDT application and see if it is working. Now, we are left with the last step of troubleshooting.


Solution 4: Multiple Versions of QuickBooks Desktop on the Same Computer

QuickBooks update errors are most likely to happen if you have more than one installation version of QuickBooks desktop on the same computer. If this is the case, then you need to download and install a manual update for one or more versions of QBDT. 


Summing It Up!

These were the four primary ways of troubleshooting the QuickBooks Desktop update errors that happen most frequently with the users. Basically, you need to fix the internet and firewall settings that could possibly interfere with QuickBooks updates.
