Solutions
You won’t be able to efficiently perform business accounting on the software as it won’t start or face frequent crashes while running. The methods you must use to prevent the random crashes on your QB are discussed below-
Solution 1- Delete or rename the QBWUSER.ini file to prevent QB from crashing
You might sometimes experience that QB fails to open even after several attempts or crashes a few seconds after running. This might be a result of a damaged QBWUSER.ini file, which is essential for the software to run smoothly. The file contains information about the user accounts authorized to access the financial data, and QB runs the files to check if you are a valid user. In case the file gets damaged and fails to run, QB won’t start or crash randomly. You must also avoid clicking the software repeatedly and give the software proper time to launch. Use these steps-
Open the File Explorer on your PC and go to the C: Users\ProgramData\Intuit\QuickBooks.
Go inside the QB folder and right-click the QBWUSER.ini file.
Select Rename in the options list and add ‘.old’ as an extension to the file name.
Save the file with the new name (QBWUSER.ini.old) and reopen your QuickBooks.
If your QuickBooks fails to open or crashes afterward, move to the next solution.
