9/29/25 reboot system loop when trying to open QB desktop

Hello there, Deb. Before we get started, may I know if the Windows OS you're using (Windows 10 or Windows 11) is the 64-bit edition?

It's because the current QuickBooks Desktop versions require a 64-bit system for support.

You can follow what @SIAB implies: "Click the icon to run the QB program and hold down the CTRL key simultaneously while the process is running."

I also suggest checking if the specific year and version of your QuickBooks Desktop product matches the version of Windows you are running.

Once compatibility is confirmed, we must remove all existing installation files, including any corrupted ones, and reinstall the program. But first, we'll need to create a Backup. After that, we'll proceed with reinstalling.

If the reboot loop persists even after completing the clean installation, the issue needs to be checked by our Live support team for further investigation.
