Latest update for desktop 2022

I understand that encountering such an issue can upset Yogi, but rest assured, I'm here to offer a solution to ensure your update installation goes smoothly.

The QuickBooks release updates can be delayed because Microsoft Defender or other antivirus programs thoroughly scan each QuickBooks file during the installation process, which can take a considerable amount of time.

To solve this, the QuickBooks Tool Hub now includes a feature that lets you exclude certain QuickBooks files from being scanned by Microsoft Defender. This means that during installation, these files won't be checked by the antivirus, allowing the update install faster. To use this new feature, follow these steps:

1. Click Cancel to stop the update.
2. Open the QuickBooks Tool Hub application.
3. Select Installation issues, and choose Add Defender Exclusion.
4. Ensure to restart your computer to apply for the exemption.
5. Reopen the software and start the update.

In addition, I'm also sharing these resources you can use in the future. These can help you fix with performance of your QuickBooks:

• Manage your data files to fix QuickBooks Desktop performance issues.
• While working in QuickBooks, QuickBooks closes unexpectedly (crashes with or without an error).

The steps should resolve your issue, Yogi. Please let me know if you need any assistance with this, or if there's anything else I can help you with. I'm here to make sure your experience is as smooth as possible.
