Hello there, Thayden.
I appreciate the time you've given reaching out the Community. Let's get this working for you.
First, we'll want to make sure your QuickBooks Desktop is up to date to take advantage of updates and bug fixes.
Here's how:
- Go to Help menu, then choose Update QuickBooks.
- Select on the Update Now tab.
- Scroll down and ensure Data Protect is checked.
- Click Get Updates.
- Once the updates are complete, close and reopen QuickBooks Desktop to apply the updates.
Otherwise, you can check out this article for more troubleshooting steps that can help fix the issue: Troubleshoot Common Intuit Data Protect (IDP) Problems.
If you're still unable to find the IDP icon, I suggest calling our QuickBooks Care Team to conduct further investigation and come up with a fix.
