Limited time. 50% OFF QuickBooks for 3 months.
Buy now & saveHello, I have Quickbooks Desktop Pro Plus 2023 with Assisted Payroll. I have a new "Windows 11 Pro" computer and after downloading QBooks and doing payroll, I'm finding that Intuit Data Protect isn't backing up. I spent over 3 hours with a very knowledgeable agent trying to help, changing internet options, security settings, clearing cache, updating, re-booting, etc. Intuit Data Protect is still unable to backup. After running the IDP diagnostics tool, everything works except for the "Backup" portion of the test. If this is merely a Windows 11 incompatibility issue, when will this be resolved? i'm very uncomfortable with the fact that I cannot do online backups after completing extensive accounting work and completing payroll. I'm afraid to revert back to my older Windows 10 Business computer since I've input a lot of new data into the company file with the Windows 11 computer. I'm surprised that QB Pro desktop 2023 is having compatibility issues (assuming this is the case). Can someone help?
I know this hasn't been an easy process for you, @holdon.

Also, Intuit Data Protect backs up your company file automatically once a day. It is possible that a component from your system is blocking the automatic backup or it is already damaged.
Intuit Data Protect needs access to your firewall. That said, I suggest checking your firewall to guarantee that important files are allowed.
