Where is the gear icon?

I’d be glad to specify which part of QuickBooks you’ll see the Gear icon, jcsez.


The Settings/Gear icon can be found at the upper-right corner of your QuickBooks screen. It is between the Help icon and the magnifying glass. 

 

You might also want to check this video for additional information about QuickBooks Navigation: Menus, Transactions & Set Up.

 

Post a question again if there's anything else you need.

I am so new to this and am trying very diligently to work my way through this, but there is no help icon next to a magnifying glass icon in the tool bar. What am I missing?

Hello @coni,

 

You may want to consider manually changing the display setting of your browser. Your browser's resolution may have affected to display of the Help and Gear icon in your account.

 

To do so, simply press the Ctrl and keys on your keyboard. In addition, you can also update the screen resolution of your computer. Let me show you how:

  1. On your desktop screen, right-click on any black spot.
  2. Select Screen Resolution.
  3. Click 1024x768.

For Mac OS:

  1. Go to the Apple menu.
  2. Select System Preferences.
  3. Tap Display.
  4. Click 1024x768.

I've got you this helpful article to learn more about how you can manually configure your display settings: Unable to see the entire page in QuickBooks Online.

 

Keep me posted in the comment section down below if you have any other questions. I'm always around happy to lend a helping hand.
