I'm trying to update QuickBooks, but I keep getting QuickBooks Error 12029. It says there's a connection issue, but my internet seems fine. What causes this error, and how can I fix it?

Hi , @wandagerman325 

QuickBooks Error 12029 often occurs due to network timeouts or firewall settings. To resolve it, ensure your firewall and antivirus settings allow QuickBooks to access the internet. Also, verify your Internet Explorer settings as QuickBooks relies on it for connectivity. If the problem persists, try resetting your network settings and updating QuickBooks again.
