Quickbooks tries to open then shuts itself off

You should reinstall your QB program.

Thanks 4Gal for your comment I was able to get it working after  using Quickbooks Tool Hub

 Got pretty lucky.

This isn't what I want you to experience when opening QuickBooks, mox2. Let me make it up to you by making sure this gets resolved.

You may have to uninstall and install your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) software to remove the update alerts and start fresh. You can start by following these steps:

1. Open the Windows Start menu. Search for “Control Panel”, then open Control Panel.
2. Select Programs and Features or Uninstall a Program.
3. Select the version of QuickBooks Desktop you want to remove from the list.
4. Tap on Uninstall/Change, Remove, then Next.  

Once done, we can run the QuickBooks Tool hub. This helps fix common issues that cause QuickBooks Desktop to stop working. To use the tool hub, we'll need first to close QuickBooks. Then let’s proceed with downloading the program to your computer.

 Here’s how:

1. Close QBDT.
2. Download the most recent version of the QuickBooks Tool Hub. Save it somewhere you can easily find it (like your Downloads folder or your Windows desktop).
3. Open the file you downloaded (QuickBooksToolHub.exe).
4. Follow the on-screen steps to install and agree to the terms and conditions.
5. When the installation finishes, double-click the icon on your Windows desktop to open the tool hub.

To use the QuickBooks Desktop Tool Hub, select Program Problems if you notice performance issues when you open the program. Check out this article for more information: Fix issues when QuickBooks has stopped working.
