@ramnyc 

Open the sample file. Did you encounter the same error message?

Thank you for your reply.

Saved sample database file on our quickbooks server which causes error -6000, -82.

When sample database saved to our local drive it opens fine.

Could it be a windows update that caused this issue?  Possibly .NET issue?

We upgraded our QuickBooks from 2022 to 2024, and the "you need to download the latest file doctor " popup is still appearing. 

If I restart the QuickBooksDB34 service, everything will run fine for a few days until the popup appears again.

I already rebuilt data, ran QB file doctor.

Any idea what may be causing this issue?

thanks

I'm the same person as ramnyc. I logged in with different account (client)

I appreciate for providing details, bill. I understand how disruptive it can be to encounter persistent pop-ups and frequently restart services to maintain software functionality. Let me explain why you are encountering these error messages.

The error message you're encountering indicates that you need to update to the latest version of the QuickBooks Tool Hub. I recommend performing this update on a Windows 10, 64-bit system.

Moving forward, to download and install the most recent version of the QuickBooks Tool Hub, please follow these step-by-step instructions:

1. Close QuickBooks.
2. Download the most recent version (1.6.0.8) of the QuickBooks Tool Hub. Save the file somewhere you can easily find it (like your Downloads folder or your Windows desktop).
3. Open the file you downloaded (QuickBooksToolHub.exe).
4. Follow the on-screen steps to install and agree to the terms and conditions.
5. Once installation is complete, double-click the icon on your desktop to open the tool hub.

To Run Quick Fix My File, here's how:

1. In the Tool Hub, go to Company File Issues.
2. Click Quick Fix my File.
3. Hit OK once it's done, then open QuickBooks.

To Run QuickBooks File Doctor, here's how:

1. In the Tool Hub, select Company File Issues.
2. Click Run QuickBooks File Doctor. It may take a minute to open.
3. Choose your company file from the dropdown, or use Browse to locate your file if it’s not listed.
4. Select Check your file (middle option only) and Continue.
5. Enter your QuickBooks admin password and Next.

The duration of the scan depends on your file size, ranging from 10–15 minutes. Sometimes, the scan might report as unsuccessful, yet still fix the issue. Once completed, open QuickBooks and your company file.

Moreover, if you want to track your sales and expenses using predefined customer, job, and sales reports. You can check this article: Customize customer, job, and sales reports in QuickBooks Desktop.

Please follow the outlined steps to update and utilize the QuickBooks Tool Hub effectively. If you have any questions about this process or need further clarification, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We appreciate your continued use of QuickBooks and look forward to assisting you further.

Run the Verify/Rebuild Data utility. Any unresolved error message?

Ran verify rebuild several times and no issues.

Next troubleshoot, run the Condense Data utility with any scenario. Any issue?

would condense data lose any data?

You need to secure the a backup file first.

Database condensed.

Original file size 419 mb

After condensing 191 mb.

 The error message is still appearing.

Restart of QuickbooksDB34 service and QBSM allows users back in.

Any ideas what would be causing this? Could it be a user's computer causing this? 

I notice that when this happens, a specific user is connected.

We upgrades our Quickbooks version to 2024.
