This post will go over the causes of QuickBooks not updating, as well as practical solutions.


This article will help fix the numerous QB update problems that customers have encountered. But if you need a speedier fix or don't want to do it yourself, give our professionals at TFN a call.



Possible Reasons for QuickBooks Update Not Working

There are a few common causes of issues with the QuickBooks update process. For your convenience, we have included a list of the leading causes below so you can understand why they occur.


  • In QuickBooks, the digital signature certificate may not be validated or may have expired

  • As an administrator, you are not starting the QB update process

  • Your QB Desktop application may be corrupted or improperly installed

  • Another possible cause of the QuickBooks update stalled issue is damage or corruption to the QuickBooks Desktop component folder

  • During the update process, the .DLL and .OCX files either have problems or aren't correctly registered


These are the factors that create obstacles and render the process of updating QB Desktop unsuccessful. Now that we are aware of the possible causes, let's move on to the problem-solving strategies in the following section.


Practical Ways to Solve the QuickBooks Update Stuck Issue

You cannot download and install the most recent features, enhancements, and security patches as long as QuickBooks update problems exist. Consequently, to resolve the QuickBooks Update Stuck Issue as soon as possible, the following troubleshooting steps must be followed:



Method 1: Check the internet connectivity and restore the advanced settings

Update issues are most likely related to your internet connection. To verify your secure internet connection, open a browser and visit Intuit or any other secure website. 


If you are unable to access Intuit or any other website, contact your internet service provider (ISP) for help with internet and network connection issues. 


If, on the other hand, you have no trouble accessing the website as mentioned earlier, launch QuickBooks Desktop and adjust the internet connection configuration as follows: 


  • Launch QB, then choose Internet Connection Setup from the Help menu

  • When this application connects to the Internet, click Use my computer's Internet connection settings to establish a connection, and then click Next

  • After choosing Advanced Connection Settings, select Restore Advanced Settings under the Advanced tab

  • After choosing Ok, click Done, and then update QuickBooks Desktop once again



Method 2: Verify that the computer's date and time settings are accurate

  • Right-click the system clock on your desktop, then select Adjust Date/Time

  • After selecting Change date and time, input the date the change is needed, and then click OK twice

  • After finishing, exit and restart QuickBooks Desktop to repeat the update procedure

  • Go to the next troubleshooting step if the QuickBooks update is stuck at 24 or another percentage



Method 3: Modify the Firewall Configuration to Avoid QB Blocking

Software update installation may also be hampered by issues resulting from incorrectly configured firewalls or internet security settings, which prevent QuickBooks from connecting to the Internet. To resolve QB update issues, you might try resetting the Windows firewall and clearing out any obstacles. 


To check the status of the update issue, try downloading the QB Desktop updates online when the blockage has been removed. In the event that an issue occurs and the QuickBooks Desktop update becomes stuck, move on to the following step to resolve the issue. 



Method 4: In QB Desktop, install the digital signature

  • To open the Windows File Explorer and select the This Computer tab, press the Windows + E keys

  • Proceed to the C Drive and choose Intuit from the Program Files area

  • Right-click the .EXE file in the QuickBooks folder, then choose Properties

  • Next, select Details after clicking on the Digital Signature tab and ensuring Intuit is included among the signatures

  • To choose the Install Certificate option, click View Certificate and navigate to the Certificate window

  • Finally, select Next and then Finish. The PC must be rebooted before trying the QB updates again

Conclusion
