@GLucas. If you look on the 1st page, a post by BigRedConsulting has a link to instructions to manually perform the process. This however is only to disable forced updates, not to resolve .NET dependencies that QuickBooks might need.

You must be running an old version of Microsoft Windows to only have .NET 1.1.4322. I don't see a way to bypass the dependency... you have to update to a QuickBooks supported version of Windows. QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise requires Windows 10 or higher (https://quickbooks.intuit.com/desktop/enterprise/technical-specs/).

Sorry for the late reply.

I do not get install now.   I get close your quickbooks

I get " Looks like you don't have the require permissions"  

Welcome to the Community, Jackie.

I'll share some information to help you figure this out.

Ensure to log into your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) account as an Admin. You'll want to check if you're using multi-user mode. If this is the case, you can exit it and switch to the single-user mode by going to the File menu at the top and choosing Switch to Single-user Mode from the drop-down menu. 

Once done, you can check if you can now install the upgrade. Here's how: 

1. In QBDT, go to the Help menu to get to the Update QuickBooks Desktop. 
2. Proceed to the Update Now tab.
3. Place a checkmark in the Rest Update box, then hit Get Updates.

For other users who use remote access from different computers, the same process can be performed on those PCs while in single-user mode. If finished, you can then return to multi-user mode.

Please help - this is happening to me

Glad to have you here in the Community, @Jen1733.

Let's get rid of the QuickBooks Update Service prompt so you can get back to working order.

Have you tried updating your QuickBooks Desktop software manually? If you haven't yet, I suggest doing it so. This will help remove the QuickBooks Update Service prompt every time you open your QuickBooks Desktop. It'll also keep your QuickBooks up-to-date so you have the latest features and product improvements.

To do so, you can go to the Help menu and select Update QuickBooks Desktop. Then, go to the Update Now tab and click Get Updates.

If you get the same result, perform a clean installation of your QuickBooks Desktop program to start fresh. You can browse this article for detailed instructions: Clean install QuickBooks Desktop.

If the issue persists after performing the troubleshooting steps, I recommend contacting our QuickBooks Support Team. This way, they can further check on this matter and provide in-depth troubleshooting steps to get this resolved.

As always, feel free to visit our QuickBooks Community help website if you need tips and related articles in the future.

Come back to this post and let me know how the troubleshooting steps go, @Jen1733. I want to make sure you're taken care of.

Intuit really is pushing themselves out of the business accounting market.  NO business should allow their users to login to their computers with Administrative priviledges.  As a managed service provider, we do not allow our users to do this.  So our accountants offices often have to wait on us to login and install the updates for them.  Our customers have an "on-site" contact that has an admin login, but they are often not available, or don't remember their credentials.  It almost seems like Intuit doesn't care about the productivity of their clients, or the security of their data.  Apparently installing their latest marketing and tracking updates is more important than the usefulness of the software.

I tried to install the update but each time it stops at the same spot. I can't get it to finish the update and I can't access QB.

@empop299_ 

Which QB Desktop year version? 2024 or earlier?

Have you tried to disable Windows Defender?

Hello there, Empop299. Let me help you in installing your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

First, I would like to ask which specific QBDT software you have. It will allow me to provide you with the correct steps for your software.

Before installing the update on your QuickBooks, please ensure your computer meets the requirements to avoid issues. You can check these articles for more information:

• System Requirements for QuickBooks Desktop 2023
• System Requirements for QuickBooks Desktop 2024

If the system requirements for QBDT installation are met, we can take the necessary steps to resolve the installation issue. First, ensure to close QuickBooks for a simultaneous process. Then follow the steps provided below:

1. Close your QBDT.
2. Right-click on the taskbar, then choose Task Manager.
3. Under the details tab, search for the following background processes to select and End tasks for each.
   1. QBW32.exe or QBW.exe
   2. QBCFMonitorService.exe
   3. qbupdate.exe
   4. QBDBMgr.exe or QBDBMgrN.exe
   5. QBMapi32.exe
4. Right-click on the QuickBooks shortcut, then select Run as administrator.
5. Kindkly rerun the update.

Furthermore, I recommend utilizing the QBDT Toolhub to fix your software and gain access if the steps don't work. Then, download the update again and reinstall it.

Additionally, check out these articles can help gain insights into new updates in QBDT:

• What's new in QuickBooks Desktop 2023
• What's new in QuickBooks Desktop 2024

Return to this thread if you have further questions about installing the updates. I'll be sure to answer them once I get your reply. Keep safe!

The update fails 3 seconds after pressing the 'Install Now' button.

So now I cannot get into QB at all !!!!

The update dies 3 seconds after 'Update Now' is pressed.

So QB is no longer usable.

Reinstalling QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) can help rectify errors and fix data issues, bobmat. I'll guide you further in updating your file to the latest release.

In QBDT, service updates prompt regularly to ensure your company file is up-to-date and has the latest features and fixes. In your case, let's uninstall and then reinstall QuickBooks to resolve data issues so you can get back into managing your account.

Also, please know that performing this process won't affect any data recorded in your file. Thus, it's best to have your license number handy or prepare the purchase confirmation email if you've bought it online.

To proceed, refer to 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. From the list of programs, select the version of QuickBooks Desktop you want to remove.
4. Select Uninstall/Change, Remove, and then Next.

Once done, install the QBDT. When installed, QuickBooks will automatically update new folders and rename your old ones. You can learn more information from this article: Reinstall QuickBooks Desktop.

However, if the issue persists, I recommend contacting our Live Expert Team. This way, they can further check on this matter and provide in-depth troubleshooting steps to get this resolved.

If anything comes to mind while managing updates in your file, we'll keep this thread available so you can reply anytime below. Stay safe.

I always keep updates done.  It tells me I am up to date (QB Pro, 1 person) but I can't get out of the loop.

I have to send bill checks out today.  What is going on?

I appreciate you bringing this observation to our attention, @HHLS1. Since your QuickBooks is already up to date, it seems that the issues you’re facing could be related to data or program corruption or a buildup of data.

To resolve this, let's start running your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) program in administrator mode. Here's how:

1. Close your QBDT account.
2. Then, look for the QBDT icon and right-click.
3. Next, choose Run as administrator.

Next, let’s download and use the QuickBooks Tool Hub to fix the update notification loop. This tool is designed to address common errors and can often resolve various looping issues.

Here's how to operate it:

1. Open the file you downloaded (QuickBooksTollHub.exe.)
2. Perform the on-screen instructions to install and agree to the terms and conditions.
3. After the installation, double-click the icon on your Windows desktop to open the tool hub. If you can't find it, manually search on your computer.
4. After that, launch the QuickBooks Tool Hub to utilize tools to fix installation and upgrading errors.

After that, let's run QuickBooks File Doctor from the tool hub. For a detailed, step-by-step guide on how to do this, check out these steps below:

1. From the tool hub, go to Company File Issues.
2. Click on Run QuickBooks File Doctor.
3. In QuickBooks File Doctor, select your company file from the dropdown menu.
4. Select Check your file and network and then Continue.
5. Put in your QuickBooks admin password and then click Next.

If the same thing happens, we can proceed to Step 3 in this article to manually configure the firewall: Set up firewall and security settings for QuickBooks Desktop. Once done, restart your computer for changes to save.

If the issue persists, I recommend contacting our QuickBooks Desktop to have them take a look at this behavior. They have advanced tools to examine your account and suggest specific fixes for this loop.

I'm also including this article that guides you on creating a portable version of your company file. This can be useful for backup or transfer purposes: Create and open portable company files in QuickBooks Desktop.
