What to do if my QuickBooks Desktop won't open Windows 11?

[Henry_Brown]

I recently switched my computer to Windows 11. Now, I am trying to open QuickBooks on the same. I don’t know why QuickBooks is not opening, and the error says QuickBooks Desktop won't open Windows 11. Can someone assist me how can I fix this issue?

Hi,  @Henry_Brown 

Thanks for posting your query; let’s help you fix the error.

If your computer doesn’t meet the system requirements of QuickBooks, you won’t be able to open the QuickBooks program. So, first, you must ensure that your computer meets all the QB system requirements. However, if QuickBooks Desktop won’t open Windows 11, the QuickBooks installation might be damaged or corrupted. So, either reinstall the QuickBooks program or fix the issues by running the QuickBooks Install Diagnostic tool on your computer:

• First, exit QuickBooks Desktop and go to Intuit’s official site to download the latest version of QuickBooks Tool Hub in the most recent version (1.6.0.3).
• Once you have downloaded the file, save it in a location from where you can easily access it. Most users save the Tool Hub in a Download folder.
• Now, double-click on the file you just downloaded (QuickBooksToolHub.exe).
• Start the installation by following the instructions on your screen and agreeing with the terms and conditions.
• Once the installation is done, open the Tool Hub by double-clicking on its icon.
• In the Tool Hub, choose Installation Issues from the left pane of your screen.
• Click on the QuickBooks Install Diagnostic Tool button. The tool might take 20 minutes to complete; wait until then.
• Once done, restart your computer and try again to open QuickBooks.
