Fiat- Please stop trying to help. We are not just trolling here. We understand they won’t bother to support QBD or earlier for this matter. You don’t need to make IE your default browser, just enable it for QB. I’m running Win10 with QB Desktop. The IE explorer directory was intact or at least it was there after my multiple re-install attemps and I made the Registry fix. Suggested in that article and it throws a non-fatal error but brings up QuickBooks But it works!

I’ve never been a fan of Intuit’s coding and features. There is a flaw in the code that I pointed out to them in probably the late ’90s, that is still there to this day. Does anyone know of a better product that QuickBooks that I could convert my accounting over to? I’m just now retiring from my company that I started in , but I still need to use quickbooks or the data from it for another 7 years if the Infurnal Revenue Service comes after me.

Have you read the whole string of emails and comments? This is not possible. QB needs to get with the program and get this up to current technology! It works on my system that no longer has IE installed on it! Windows 10 Version 21H2. I tried for almost an entire day to hack my way into getting IE re-installed but no luck. My belief is that Intuit wants everyone on QB Online and wants to get rid of the Desktop version for good.

Intuit has always been about how they can generate revenue for themselves, not fixing the problems with QB that we users have to deal with. I’m hoping that in the end it would take Intuit down or at least to their knees.

But I’m not betting on hope. Just a note. Microsoft updated my Window 10 version above to 11 without my express approval and QB went south again under Windows I just created the required Registry update file as explained and documented in the attached PDF file. I clicked on the Registry update file and it added the IE entry back in although IE isn’t and doesn’t need to be actually installed! Also note that this file is being sent with a “. It contains the instructions to create and execute the simple Registry entry update file described above.

Having the exact same issue. I have QB Desktop. Thus, the issue. What are our workarounds? I run 20 different QB Company files and cannot access any of them currently.

I hear your sentiments, tsmegg This way, they can further investigate the root cause of this matter. First, you’ll need to make sure that your QBDT is updated to the latest release. This way, you’ll have the most recent features and fixes. Then, check their file types. Select the files with the.

If they meet all the requisites and you’re still unable to open them, let’s identify if your company files or the QuickBooks program itself are causing the issue.

From there, open you company files again. If issue persists, open a sample file through the Open a sample file drop-down. To help fix this, you can run the QuickBooks Tool Hub. However, if the sample file opens, move on to Step 4.

For more details, please refer to this resource: What to do if you can’t open your company file. If you got the same outcome, proceed with the remaining steps outlined in the article above. In addition, here are a few extra articles that can help you along the way in managing your data in QBDT:. Have a good one and keep safe. I’m a programmer and can tell you you’re out of luck. The way they built QB is to embed a copy of the IE11 engine into it – so it is not like they can update a setting to use another browser.

They’d have to go back and re-engineer QB – a product that will soon loose support by May It is an antiquated programming design which leaves you to the mercy of the owner of that engine – though wouldn’t fault MSFT here because they have many. So in a way, this is planned functional obsolescence and timed just right for the shiny new QB Thank you for the insight, and I expected the same plan to replace IE Sadly, it seems that the shiny version hasn’t fixed the problem and is now reliant on Edge with IE11 enabled AND has an annual subscription fee instead of a buy and replace at obsolescence or at your leisure if you can get by with it.

Another thread I was on about the same problem has blown up in the last two weeks over this issue as users are struggling. It’s a poor workaround and not a solution as you point out that it has been many years in the making that IE would be gone.

I hope your QB work is continuing successfully though. Thank you again for your comment. See my response from 4 weeks ago. There is a fix described that has fixed the problem with my Windows 10 and Windows 11 desktop. It gives instructions on creating a simple Registry update file. See attached. The challenge I am having is that iexplore.

See my discussion above that will fix your problem.

IE doesn’t need to be reinstalled I couldn’t get mine reinstalled to use the fix above. I can’t install IE on either my Win10 or Win11 computers. Don’t bother with QB support responses. They don’t work and QB wants you to “upgrade” to the cloud leased version.

They are using this “issue” as a way to get us frustrated QB Desktop users to come over to the “cloudy side”. I’ve used QB for my IT business since Remember MS has been telling users for many years that IE is going away. QB has known and ignored this fact for those same years. It will die permanently on 15 Jun in Windows 10 even if you do get it re-installed.

If you follow my fix, you will trick QB into thinking IE is on your system. I completely deleted the program IE that is I did not reinstall IE on my computer just turned it back on in my system folder.

Don’t know why it worked but it did. My guess is there is a hidden folder with IE in it that I was able to “unhide” so QB could find it and run like normal. I was so excited to find this feed today and your steps did fix my problem. So 1st-Thank you! As it is now almost May and in June IE is adios, I am hoping that Intuit has a solution and update to be released asap. I’m glad to hear that my colleague was able to help resolve your issue.
