System Error

So we did the update as stated in the article, now in the update now tab as the system was updating we had an error.  Under Service Message Error #403.  I did the update about 9am on 5-1-20, and so far no users have complained about anything.  Is this update error something we need to look further into?

Hi @web95.

When QuickBooks Payroll Update Error 403 occurs, the QuickBooks does not let you approach the website due to improper configuration of the Internet.

 I’d be glad to give you the detailed steps to download the latest table in QuickBooks Desktop. Let me show you how: 

1. Go to the Employees menu
2. Select Get Payroll Updates.
3. Select the Download Entire Update checkbox.
4. Select Download Latest Update. A window appears when the download is complete.

 Also, you can check this article to give you more details about the payroll tax table in QuickBooks Desktop: Get the latest payroll tax table update.

No Ive restarted many times.  No avail.   I checked the virus protection; wasnt the problem.  Ive been holding to get help since 9 am and everyone keeps bouncing me over to someone else with long hold periods.  Pauline said she had my back and hung up on me.  Quickbooks has no technicians and I really wish I could buy an accounting program that people that you could actually talk to.  I am so so so so so disappointed in QB's and my blood pressure is g\reaching its limit trying to get help from your technicians.  

Thanks for letting me know about your call experience with our QuickBooks Support team, @Glomar. I also appreciate you for following the steps shared by my colleague.

Since none of the above resolutions works for you, it means your QuickBooks company file has suffered massive corruption. In such a case, repairing it would be best. 

First off, you back up your company file, then restart your computer. It will ensure there are no programs that may affect the repair. Then, follow the steps below:

1. Open the Windows Start menu, then select Control Panel. If you're using Windows 8 or 8.1, search "Control Panel" in the Windows Start menu.
2. Select Programs and Features then Uninstall a Program. Note: If you don't see Programs and Features, select Programs instead. Then select Program and Features.
3. Select QuickBooks from the list of Programs, then Uninstall/Change.
4. Select Continue, or Next.
5. Select Repair, then Next.

The repair should start right away, but it may take a while to finish. You can leave it running, and come back once it's done. Click done, then select Finish.

Once done, restart your computer to complete the repair, then update your QuickBooks to the latest release. This makes sure you have the most recent fixes and security updates.

Thanks for posting here in the Community forum, SO26. I'd be glad to assist you further in fixing the error and be able to operate your business with QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) again.

I appreciate your effort in attempting to follow the troubleshooting steps in this thread. While you can't open QuickBooks, we can update QBDT to the latest release without opening your app. Let's download the update directly from our website.

Here's how:

1. Go to the Downloads & Updates page.

Moreover, the update will install automatically even if the product is closed. Just keep your system/PC switched on. Once installed, you can now open your QuickBooks. If the issue persists, I recommend checking your antivirus settings before re-installing the product.

Additionally, QBDT lets you create custom templates for forms, allowing control over how they look and what information to include. Check out this resource to learn more: Use and customize form templates in QBDT.
