Solution 1- Set the TLS settings correctly and open QuickBooks in Administrator mode

The payroll service update may fail to begin or instantly stop in between if QuickBooks fails to set up a connection with the internet. This can happen due to incorrect Transport Layer Security (TLS) settings which are used to safeguard your system from malware that can enter through the internet. These settings can block the internet connection of your PC applications leading to various errors. You need to fix the TLS settings with these steps to stop them from blocking the payroll updates-

  1. Type ‘Internet options’ in the search panel and open its window from the search results.
  2. Click the Advanced tab of the Internet properties window.
  3. Go to the bottom of the settings list for TLS settings.
  4.  Mark the checkbox alongside Use TLS 1.2 with a single click and save the settings.

After you configure the TLS settings, you must also ensure that QuickBooks doesn’t get blocked by the Windows firewall. You can use QuickBooks in Administrator mode to let it bypass the security software and access your system drive folders without any issues. Here’s how-

  1.  Type ‘QuickBooks’ in the search panel and wait for the search results to appear.
  2.  Right-click the QuickBooks icon and select Run as Administrator.
  3.  Begin the payroll update again when the software starts in Admin mode.

If the error still stops payroll from updating, jump to the following method.

Solution 2- Activate/Register your QuickBooks Desktop

You will be blocked from downloading the payroll updates if QuickBooks hasn’t been activated after the renewal of the payroll service. Use these steps to register your QuickBooks product-

  1. Go to the Help menu of your QuickBooks and tap Activate QuickBooks Desktop in the drop-down list.
  2. Fill up the details required to verify your info and click Activate.
  3. Download payroll updates again after the software is registered.
