Thank you for reaching out to the Community. It's my priority to help you sort this out, @Strasso.  

To isolate this case, we need to ensure that you're using the latest version of QuickBooks to prevent any errors.  

let's manually update the software to the latest release.

Here's how:

1. Close your QuickBooks entirely, and then open the Windows Start menu.
2. Search for QuickBooks Desktop and right-click on the icon.
3. Select Run as administrator.
4. In the No Company Open screen, go to the Help > Update QuickBooks Desktop.
5. In the Update QuickBooks Desktop window, click the Options tab.
6. Select Mark All and click Save. 
7. Go to the Update Now tab and put a check mark on the the Reset Update box.
8. Hit on the Get Updates button.

Once the download is finished re-open QuickBooks and make sure to run it as the administrator. You can also set the program for automatic updates. . Here's an article for more detailed information: Update QuickBooks Desktop to the latest release.

Though, if the error still persists you can run Repair QuickBooks Desktop.
