Hi , @reneemiller2024 

To fix QuickBooks Error 15271, first, ensure that User Account Control (UAC) is turned off in Windows. Go to Control Panel > User Accounts > Change User Account Control settings, then set it to "Never notify." After that, update QuickBooks Desktop to the latest version. If the issue persists, perform a clean install of QuickBooks using the Clean Install Tool to reset program files, which can resolve installation-related errors.
