Intuit ID Settings/ Admin Role - Possible Windows Update Issue

I appreciate you for sharing the detailed steps you've already taken to resolve the issue, Teresa. Let's work together to fix your concern and ensure that your status is signed in.

To get started, please log in to your Intuit Account to verify if you’re using the primary admin email. If you’re logging in with an email that isn’t listed as primary, that could be why your status shows as signed out.

Here's how:

1. In the upper section of your QuickBooks Desktop, select Company, then click My Company.
2. Choose Manage Your Account, then continue the following steps.
3. Note: When logging into your Intuit Account, use the email you can see when you press F2.

After you’ve done that, scroll down to Primary Contacts. If the email you used to log in isn’t listed as the primary contact or admin, please log out and try logging in again with the admin’s email. Once you’re back in, press F2 to check if your status shows as signed out or signed in.

If your status still displays as signed out, I recommend contacting our QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) Support Team. I can see that you've already contacted them; however, this is the best approach we can take as they have the tools to check the root cause of this error further.

Additionally, you might want to check out this page that contains various video tutorials about QBDT: Watch step-by-step videos to learn your way around QuickBooks.

Drop by again if you have further concerns about this setup, and I'll gladly assist you. You're not alone in this, Teresa.

Thank you so much for the reply.  As I stated before, I am growing more desperate for resolution.  

My primary admin contact was in fact different than my ADMIN ID used to log in under company, my company.  A QB rep had me create a new ADMIN ID while troubleshooting.  Both IDs (old ID showing under primary contact and newly created admin ID) have admin permissions.

I tried logging in with old ID and got the message stating old ID doesn't have access and to contact old ID to grant access.  

It seems to go in circles.  While troubleshooting, old ID has been used to grant access to new ID and vice versa many times.  

If I have to call the support line again, is it possible to speak to the last person I spoke to?  Or is it possible to speak to a higher-level rep.  In past calling experiences, I have to repeat hours of troubleshooting to get to higher level rep and then either my time or their time runs out and I have to start over with a new rep the next day.  I believe my last case# was 15126767121.  

After another lengthy call, Alex is going to investigate further and call me back.  New case# 15127506919
