Solutions
The payroll update instantly fails after your QBDT generates this error, and the software might also crash. The appropriate approaches you can take to deal with this payroll issue are mentioned below-
Solution 1- Set the TLS settings correctly on your Windows
Payroll updates in QuickBooks are highly dependent on the internet connection, and even minor instability in the connection might lead to damage to the update or complete failure of the process. QuickBooks and other applications can also lose their access to the internet if the TLS (Transport Layer Security) settings aren’t properly configured. These settings block malware and other threats from entering your system and harming the data. Follow the steps given below to set up the TLS settings in your Windows-
- Open the Internet Properties window from the control panel or type ‘inetcpl.cpl’ in Run (Windows+R).
- Go to the Advanced tab in the internet properties window and find the TLS settings at the bottom of the list.
- Single-click the Use TLS 1.2 checkbox to enable it and leave all the other TLS checkboxes unmarked.
- Use Apply to save the settings and close the window.
Jump to the next solution if the error still stops the payroll service updates.
Solution 2- Configure the default web browser settings in the control panel
QuickBooks might also fail to set up a stable connection with the internet if you have a third-party web browser raising issues while integrating with Web applications. You must use inbuilt OS web browsers as default on your system to prevent compatibility issues in QuickBooks. Use the following steps to change the default browser settings in your Windows-
- Open the control panel on your PC and click the Apps option in its menu.
- Go to Default Apps on the left panel menu and click the Web Browser option.
- A drop-down menu with all your system browsers will appear, in which you must choose from Microsoft Edge or Internet Explorer.
- Save the settings after selecting the browser and update QuickBooks payroll again.
