My screen is frozen. I can't close it. When I call the recording says to use the help button which doesn't work because its frozen. Any ideas or a phone number that doesn't hang up on me would be appreciated.

Thanks for bringing this concern to us, JJI.

There are times when a browser's cache data becomes full of frequently accessed pages or damaged. When this happens, QuickBooks freezes or doesn't load properly.

To better isolate if this is a browser issue or not, let's access QuickBooks Online (QBO) using a private or incognito window.

Here are some of the keyboard shortcuts that you can refer:

• Google Chrome: Ctrl + Shift + N
• Microsoft Edge: Ctrl + Shift + P
• Firefox: Ctrl + Shift + P
• Safari: Command + Shift + N

If it works, you may want to clear the browsing history of your regular web browser. This will remove previously stored browsing data that might have caused the issue. Another thing you can try is to use other supported browsers.

Hey there, Wellwood.

I can see how important it is for you to use QuickBooks Online (QBO) smoothly. Let me share some troubleshooting steps to help easily close the online program.

When working with QuickBooks, you may encounter issues relating to performance such as slowness, taking a long time to open, or other similar behavior. We'll have to make sure it meets the system requirements. This way, the program is compatible with your setup and will help avoid unexpected behavior when using it.

Next, you’ll have to perform the basic troubleshooting steps. This will help determine if the issue is browser-related. For detailed instructions, I recommend following the solution shared by my colleague above.

If the issue persists, I recommend contacting our QBO Care Team. They can guide you on how to run QuickBooks and close it without any issues.
