Well, I will never know if it was a Intuit issue or a Microsoft issue.  I had to turn the laptop over to an IT guy because nothing worked that I tried or the tech support with Quickbooks or Microsoft tried. The IT guy has had it for 5 days and finally had to just clear the laptop and reinstall Windows.  I will have to start over installing all my hardware and then my backups.  I hope to reinstall Quickbooks as soon as I get it back tomorrow and see if I have any more problems.

@mamclaughlin 

Any specific issue?

I got a new PC and I installed the 2019 version but it will not open, keep getting the error message attached. Tried repairing it, uninstall, install again, etc. pulling my hair out...help!

I was able to install an older version (2016) and it works fine but all my files are newer and cannot open them on this version...

Help has arrived, @mmiguel.

You can run Quick Fix my Program from the QuickBooks tools so you can access your QuickBooks Desktop account. This tool is designed to fix issues when you can't open your program. Before that, you’ll want to download and install the QuickBooks Tool Hub.

Here’s how:

1. Close your QuickBooks account.
2. Download the most recent version of the QuickBooks Tool Hub, then save the file somewhere you can easily spot it.
3. Open the file you downloaded (QuickBooksToolHub.exe).
4. Pay heed to the onscreen prompts to install, then agree to the terms and conditions.
5. When the installation completes, click the icon on the Windows desktop to open the tool hub.

Then, performs the steps below to repair your QuickBooks.

1. In the QuickBooks Tools Hub, select Program Problems.
2. Click Quick Fix my Program.
3. Try to open your QuickBooks.
   

You can also utilize the QuickBooks Program Diagnostic Tool if the issue persists. It can only take up to 20 minutes to run. Once done, restart your computer, then open your data file.

Tried all these suggestions multiple times, still cannot open 2019 Quickbooks and get the same error message:

Windows cannot find the program...

I've tried all the suggestions multiple times and still cannot open Quickbooks 2019, still getting the same error message...

I have other suggestions so you can open your account transparently, @mmiguel.

I appreciate you for doing the suggested troubleshooting steps before posting here in the Community. Accessing your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) 2019 is our highest priority. This way, you can get back where you left off. 

The operating system for QBDT 2019 is Windows 10, with all editions, including 64-bit, natively installed. If your new computer is currently running Windows 11, I recommend that you download and install the 2021 or 2022 QBDT releases. Doing this will isolate the error, and you can open your account seamlessly. 

To find out what your computer requires for the best QBDT experience, see these articles: 

• System requirements for QuickBooks Desktop 2022
• System requirements for QuickBooks Desktop 2019 and Enterprise Solutions 19.0

Once done, we'll upgrade your company file to ensure it runs in newer versions of QuickBooks. Let me show you how:

1. Open your original version of QuickBooks and open the company file you want to upgrade.
2. Press F2 and write down where your File Information was saved. 
3. Run the Rebuild Tool for your company file. 

After that, follow the Step 3 and 4 in this article: Upgrade your company files after you switch to a new version of QBDT.

The Tools App did the Windows update and also did not work.

The problem is that my  quickbooks will not open at all.
