Hello there, @tekedgeconsulting.
I appreciate the input you added in this thread. I can share some information about making Internet Explorer as the default browser.
To provide greater security and stability, all connections used by QuickBooks Desktop to access Intuit services are designed for use and compatibility with Internet Explorer. We must set IE as the default browser for QuickBooks Desktop so all updates are automatically installed. This will refrain you from getting the error in QuickBooks.
For in-depth information, you can check these articles as a reference:
Don't hesitate to leave a comment below if you have other concerns related to QuickBooks. I'd be happy to help further. Have a good one.
