- In the tool hub, select Installation Issues.
- Select QuickBooks Install Diagnostic Tool. Let the tool run. It can take up to 20 minutes.
- When the tool finishes, restart your computer.
Step 3: Update Windows
Window updates prevent and often fix install errors.
- Check out Windows Update: FAQ on how to update your version of Windows from Microsoft,
- Once the update finishes, restart your computer.

To get around third-party apps that may block the install, like antivirus and antispyware programs, install QuickBooks while in Selective Startup (Safe Mode).
If you still have issues, we recommend you reach out to an IT professional. These errors mean there may be a general issue with Windows.
