MAYOR ISSUE: Won't open any action popup window (and I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with web browser popup firewall protetion)

Hello all, I'm a quickbooks online essentials user and for the last few hours I've been having mayor trouble  in opening any action window (e.g.: such as creating a new invoice, receiving a payment from a client, or editing a past expense). It simply won't pop up the new window that normally would appear after clicking any of those fore mentioned actions, and I'm pretty sure it doesn't have to do with any popup or firewall security related protections from my web browser because I already tried in many browsers (chrome, firefox and microsofts edge) and in none of them works. 

Other actions like reporting, accounting , sending reminders , etc. are working normally.

What shall I do?

Let's get this resolved, @andres_uo. I appreciate you for using other supported browsers to access your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account, and I'm here to help you fix this issue.

 

I replicated this on my end. I created the transactions that you mentioned above using a QBO Essentials account and it works fine.

 

To isolate this issue, ensure that your browser is up to date. You can also access your account in a private/incognito window. Private browsing prevents cookies from being stored on your computer, making it a great place to identify browser issues.

 

If the issue persists, I recommend reaching out to QuickBooks Online Support to report this issue. They'll be able to do further investigation into this concern.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Log into your QuickBooks account.
  2. At the top right, click the Help icon.
  3. Click Contact Us.
  4. Under What can we help you with?, enter your concern.
  5. Click Let's Talk.
  6. You'll be routed to the Choose a way to connect with us page, where you can select Start a chat or Get a callback from the next available expert.

 

Additionally, you can check out this article to learn more about how to delete browser cache and Intuit-specific cookies to quickly fix issues when using QBO.

 

Also, feel free to visit this article to learn how to perform a few basic troubleshooting steps: Troubleshooting browser problems.

 

Feel free to get back to me for follow-up questions about this or if you need other things with QuickBooks. I'll be right here to help. Have a good one!

Dead Kevin,

Thanks for getting in touch.

Unfortunately, I've already tried all your recommendations mentioned in your previous post (updated my web browsers, tried the private/incognito access) and also took a look at both articles you mentioned and followed those instructions but the problem still persists.

I am attaching a short clip to show how the problem manifests, and am also proceding to get in touch with Quickbooks Online Support as you suggested (yesterday I've tried but it appeared a message that no human online support was available, only a bot).

I would appreciate if you can get in touch as soon as possible to help me solve this issue, I'm having a really bad time because lots of transactions are piling up.

Regards.

It's probably important to mention that this whole issue started simoultaneously when you apparently did an QBO Essencials upgrade, in which the Sales and Clients Tab where split up, now it shows as how it was  before yesterday but the problem still persists.
