Solutions

This error will emerge every time you try downloading the payroll updates or installing them on your PC. You can easily counter the update error using the following methods on your system-

Solution 1- Fix the TLS settings to avoid internet connection issues during the payroll update

Transport Layer Security or TLS is a security measure to protect your system from dangerous malware or threats that enter the internet. If the TLS settings are not set correctly, they can prevent QB or other applications on your PC from using the internet. This causes problems during the payroll update as the process will instantly stop when the software loses contact with the servers. You’ll have to fix the TLS settings using the following steps to prevent network connection issues on your system-
  1. Press Windows+R together on your keyboard to launch Run.
  2. Erase any command auto-filled in the search field and type ‘inetcpl.cpl’ before hitting Enter.
  3. Move under the Advanced tab and scroll down the settings list to reveal the TLS checkboxes.
  4. Ensure only the Use TLS 1.2 checkbox is marked and all the remaining TLS settings aren’t selected.
  5. Hit Apply to save the changes and try updating the QBDT payroll service again.
Check out the next solution if the error code develops again and stops the payroll update.

Solution 2- Run QBDT in Admin mode during the update and switch it to single-user mode

The QBDT payroll updates might also fail if the software isn’t able to access the update package storage location or if it runs in multi-user mode. You can avoid problems during the update by running the software in Admin mode and switching to single-user mode, as shown in these steps-
  1. Use the search panel and type ‘QuickBooks.’
  2. Right-click QuickBooks.exe (Software launch file) and select Run as Administrator.
  3. Go to the File menu when your QBDT opens in admin mode and tap Utilities.
  4. Click Stop hosting multi-user access and try updating the payroll again.
