Solutions

You won’t be able to launch QBDT on your system until you take some necessary actions to eliminate the issues stopping it. You can use the following methods to get rid of the issues hindering the QBDT launch-

Solution 1- Repair the QBWUSER.ini file and assign admin rights to QuickBooks

QBWUSER.ini is a crucial program file for QBDT, which is processed whenever you open the software. The file contains the details of the user accounts authorized to access the company file. If the files fail to run in the software due to damage, QBDT fails to recognize you as a valid user leading the software to a sudden crash. You must repair the QBWUSER.ini file to ensure it doesn’t become a reason for the software crash in the future. Here are the steps-

1. Open the file explorer by pressing Windows+E on the keyboard and navigate to C:\ProgramData\Intuit\QuickBooks(year).
2. Right-click the QBWUSER.ini in your QB folder and tap Rename.
3. Add ‘.old’ at the end of the file name as an extension and save the file as QBWUSER.ini.old.

The QBWUSER.ini file will be recreated whenever you open QBDT on your system. The software can also fail to open if it doesn’t have permission to access its files or use the system resources to run smoothly. Remove the issues by running the software in Admin mode as shown in the following steps-

1. Right-click the QuickBooks.exe icon and select Properties.
2. Go under the Compatibility tab and select Run this program as Administrator checkbox.
3. Close the window after saving the settings and open QuickBooks.
