Desktop app broken after upgrade

I've been using  Quickbooks online for about five years. I downloaded the desktop client/app a couple years ago. A week or two I upgraded the app and now I get nothing. I open up the desktop app and literally it is an empty shell. What do I do?

Hi there, SamWill.

 

Thanks for reaching out to us. Let me help isolate this problem so you keep your QuickBooks App up and running. 

 

We haven't received any similar reports about this issue, and I appreciate you for taking the time to report this. To refresh your QuickBooks app, let's clear your window app's cache by following the steps below:

  2. Select Reset App Data.
  3. Allow a moment for the process to complete, and then close the app.

If resetting the App Data still doesn't make a difference, you'll nee to uninstall and reinstall the program. To do this, you can check this article for the detailed steps: QuickBooks App for Windows and Mac: General support.
