Solutions

You won’t be able to conveniently use the software due to frequent crashes and its abnormal behavior. The quickest methods to deal with the crashing issue in your QBDT are listed below-

Method 1- Fix the Windows Firewall settings and run the software in Administrator mode

Windows Firewall can block QuickBooks files or processes, which can lead to a malfunction in the software. The software will freeze in the absence of its program files or instantly crash when its background processes are stopped. You must also disable the antivirus on your system temporarily to ensure your QBDT isn’t crashing due to it. You can then use the following steps to set the Windows Firewall settings in favor of QuickBooks-

• Go to the control panel menu on your computer and use the search panel at the top to open the Windows Defender Firewall menu.
• Select the Allow an app or feature through Windows Firewall option and search the program list for QuickBooks.
• Single-click your QuickBooks version and mark the Public & Private checkboxes you see on the side.
• Save the settings and close the control panel.

After the Windows Firewall settings are configured, you must run the software in Admin mode to bypass any other restrictions that might cause the software to crash. Here are the steps-

• Visit the QB folder in the file explorer (Windows + E).
• Right-click the application icon (QuickBooks.exe) inside the folder and select Properties.
• Single-click the Run this program as Administrator checkbox below the Compatibility tab and hit Apply to save the settings.
• If QuickBooks crashes again when you try to run it, move to the next solution.

Method 2- Run the QuickBooks Install Diagnostic tool to remove software glitches

The software can also encounter random crashes due to its defective or partial installation on your PC. Here are the steps to utilize the QuickBooks tool hub to fix the issues-
