Easy and Quick Methods to Resolve QuickBooks Issues

Screen issues in QuickBooks, which are not caused by any technical or hardware damage, can be fixed easily. Here are the recommended steps and settings in QuickBooks for screen-issues resolution:

  1. Changing the Display Settings

  2. Adjusting View Preferences

These are the two major steps we will discuss briefly in the sections below.


Step 1: Changing Display Settings in QuickBooks

Don’t go deeper down the settings right now. Start with the basic settings. Before changing the display settings in QuickBooks, you need to make sure that QB Desktop is closed. Now, review and follow the steps mentioned below:

  1. Press the Window Start button and open the menu.

  2. Search for QuickBooks and then right-click the QuickBooks icon and select Open File Location.

  3. Now, you need to right-click the QuickBooks.exe file and select Properties in the folder.

  4. Access the Compatibility tab and select Disable Display Scaling on High DPI Settings. You can also change or override the DPI settings from here.

  5. Review and apply the selected settings.

Launch QuickBooks desktop and check for display issues. If the problem still persists, you can try the second step to resolve it.


Step 2: Adjusting View Preferences

Now, you need to go to the Edit tab menu in QuickBooks and choose Preferences. Choose the option ‘Desktop View’ from the list and then ‘My Preferences.’ Now, you need to select the One Window Option in the view section and proceed to the OK button.

For verification, close and open the QuickBooks again. Check for any display issues. If the issue is not resolved yet, you need to change your Windows display settings. Change your resolution to 1024 X 768. However, 1920 X 1080 is the recommended preference for the best display results.
