Web Connector not working after Enterprise 22 upgrade

Upgraded our multi-user office to Enterprise Desktop 22, and the Web Connector can no longer see QuickBooks to install or sync data.  The most prominent error is QBWC 1039, and the error message says, "could not start QuickBooks."

 

Support has stated that they are investigating, but could provide no timeline or other information.  Any help is appreciated.

I can see the urgency of getting this fix, @CCPS Austin.

 

At this moment, we aren't able to give a specific timeframe when the issue will be resolved. Since they're still working on it and conducting further investigation, I'd suggest contacting our Customer Care Team again so they'll add you to the list of affected users and receive updates through email once a fix is available.

 

If you have a case number, that would help streamline the process. Your case number has the previous agent's notes according to what happened to your issue. This way, you won't be repeating yourself.

 

To reach them, here's how:

  1. Open QuickBooks. 
  2. Go to the Help menu at the top.
  3. Select QuickBooks Desktop Help
  4. Type Contact Us in the search box. Then, click on Contact Us at the bottom. 
  5. Select the way you wish to connect with support.

 

For future help, if you need tips and related articles, visit our QuickBooks Community help website for reference: QBDT Self-help

 

We appreciate your patience while we work for a fix. If you have additional assistance while managing your QuickBooks account, let me know. I'll be around to provide further assistance. Have a nice day.

I am having the same issue. Now, I can't use any of the plugins because the Web Connector does not work. I have tried, many, many times to contact the help department. I have received no support, but have been told, it is something that you have been working on. Can someone please help, this has been going on for over a week. Please Help!!!

Any update on when this will be fixed? This is hindering our day-to-day operations greatly!

Thanks for joining this thread, and I appreciate sharing your thoughts with the Community, @nicoleavaria.

 

This unusual behavior is already reported to our engineers. At this moment, we aren't able to give a precise timeframe when the issue will be resolved.

 

Rest assured, the engineers are doing their best to fix and prevent this from happening again. If you contact our Support Team, your case is added to the list of affected users.

 

As soon as we have an update or fix, you will be notified via email. In case you need to contact them, you can follow the steps shared by my colleague @MirriamM on how to reach them.

 

In the meantime, we can follow the workaround shared by engineers. If you need to sync through Web Connector, you can continue using the older version of QuickBooks. To do so, you'll need to download QuickBooks Desktop.

 

Once the download is finished, let's proceed to install your software:

 

  1. Open the file you downloaded (QuickBooks.exe).
  2. Follow the onscreen instructions. Accept the software license agreement and then select Next.
  3. Enter your Product and License numbers. If you don't have your license number and product number with you, visit this link for the steps in finding your license information
  4. Then select Next.
  5. Decide which install type is right for you.

 

When the installation is completed, QuickBooks will ask you to activate and update it. Once done, let's restore the backup copy of your company file. For more details, see this article link: Restore a backup of your company file.

 

I want to make sure you’ll get the most out of the latest QuickBooks version. That’s why I’m adding this article for future reference: What’s new in QuickBooks Desktop 2022. It lists all new features to help automate and streamline your daily accounting tasks.

 

Tap the Reply button if you still have additional questions about the installation process or opening QuickBooks. I’m always ready to help and make sure this is taken care of for you, @nicoleavaria.

I have also WASTED 8+ hours talking with the support (that is really funny) people and researching this myself.  It is absolutely horrible that this has not been solved and especially at the end of the year!  PLEASE FIX THIS SO THAT I CAN INSTALL WEB CONNECTOR AND GET BACK TO WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now I have wasted day #2 because I followed what you said and reverted back to 2021 but my COMPANY file is only compatible with the 2022 version of QB.  So what is your next "work around"??????????

I totally understand your frustration, @scameron_bossenergy.

 

I can assure you getting this worked out is very important to us.  Our engineers are currently looking into this issue and getting it fixed as quickly as possible.

 

In the meantime, I'd invite you to use the workaround that @JoesemM outlines earlier in this thread so you can get your work done.  Again, thank you for your patience as we work to resolve this. Let me know what else I can help you with, you can always reply with any other questions you may have!

Like I said- that work around  DOESN'T work because my company file has already been updated to 2022.

I appreciate that but after 3 phone calls and 3 times I have been advised that is has been sent to the next level and they don't have a phone number and they refuse to transfer me- that they are looking into it.  After researching for days I see that this problem was first recorded 8 months ago and another person has been dealing with it LONGER without any resolution:

Web Connector not working after Enterprise 22 upgrade

Hello,

I just upgraded to QBD 2022 with QB web connector version 2.3.0.207 (which it seemed to have automatically upgraded my web connector version. 

I actually get 2 error messages when trying to add a 3rd party app to my connector QBWC1039. There was a problem adding the application. Check QWClog.txt for details. Error connecting to QuickBooks. Error message received from QuickBooks.

20211119.00:40:38 UTC : QBWebConnector.SOAPWebService.ConnectToQB() : Error connecting to QuickBooks. Error message received from QuickBooks was <Could not start QuickBooks.>.
20211119.00:40:38 UTC : QBWebConnector.SOAPWebService.AddToQuickBooks() : QBWC1039: There was a problem adding the application. Check QWCLog.txt for details.
<Error connecting to QuickBooks. Error message received from QuickBooks was <Could not start QuickBooks.>.>
   at QBWebConnector.WebService.AddToQuickBooks()
 
My QB file is open. 
 
The other one I saw was Cant open Quickbooks. QuickBooks already has a company file open. If you want to open another company file, close this one first. 
I only have one QB company file.
 
In reading through these comments it's been months, when will there be a fix. Your customers are blocked, is there a work around?

Hello, michelles10.

 

This problem is typically caused when QuickBooks Web Connector doesn't have permission to open QuickBooks. So when you add the application to QuickBooks's Web Connector, you will be prompted to allow the application access to QuickBooks data. You need to select the last option "Yes, always; allow access even if QuickBooks is not running"  

 

 Make sure you logged into QuickBooks as an Admin User. The  Admin user has a password since the Web connector will not work properly if the Admin user has no password.  

 

You can check out this article to learn how to set up QuickBooks Web Connector and to avoid errors after installing: Set up QuickBooks Web Connector

 

In case you need some related articles in managing your multi-user network, here's an article you can read for more insights: Hosting your company data in multi-user mode in QuickBooks Desktop.  

 

Stay in touch with me if there's anything else I can help you with. I'll be right here whenever you need additional information about the error. Stay safe!

This is really a major issue. Big enough that it may mean leaving Quickbooks. Given the many months it’s been being  worked on, are we to assume there is no fix coming? If feel like that’s a real possibility.

I was FINANALLY transferred to an amazing tech who worked with me for two hours- I had recently come across a post that someone was complaining about a tech with roosters in the background.  Through out the 2 hours she went through everything on my computer I did hear roosters and all I could think about is what an arrogant jerk the is judging the smartest tech that I have ever worked with in the 20 years.

The resolution is over my head- she was able to fix it but it wasn't fast.  The only advice is keep calling until you are transferred to the next level.  It took 5 times before someone actually did transfer me but keep trying!!!!!

If you could provide ANY details on what they did it would be much appreciated.

Did they work in the registry?
Did they install anything or use a tool?

Anything you remember seeing would be so helpful.  We still cannot get help from QB Support.

I have a similar problem with a 3rd party app not syncing after upgrading to 2022.  I worked with the 3rd party app company for almost 3 weeks.  They determined it was a quickbook issue.  

Now I have been chatting with my 2nd QB rep for the last 4 hours.  She has remoted into my computer but can't fix it.

Any idea how your tech fixed your issue?

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!  I haven't had any A/R in over 4 weeks because of this issue!

Thank you for providing details of your concern. I'm happy to assist you. Below, I'm providing you with a really helpful article that highlights the way to fix common issues with the Web Connector within QuickBooks. 

This article covers everything from failed connections to application errors.

We've also been unable to use Web Connector since upgrading to 2022.  We've worked with a QB tech on the phone for two separate sessions totaling 8 hours but w/o any success.  She finally admitted defeat and added our company to the growing list of those with this issue.  

 

I've been following this link which has given periodic target fix dates.  Unfortunately all have come and gone w/o a released fix.  https://help.developer.intuit.com/s/question/0D54R00008H54g7SAB/in-the-past-week-we-have-had-multipl...

 

This issue has left our sales team in the dark as we utilize a third party app which allows our team to review inventory levels and create/submit invoices.
