I'm getting an error that says "QBCFMonitorService not running on this computer." How do I fix this issue and ensure that QuickBooks works without interruptions?

Hi @RonnieRoot475 

The "QBCFMonitorService not running on this computer" error indicates that the QuickBooks Database Server Manager (QBCFMonitorService) is not active, which can prevent QuickBooks from accessing company files over a network. To resolve this, follow these steps:

1. Restart the QBCFMonitorService: Go to Services (search in the Start menu), find QBCFMonitorService, and start or restart it.
2. Verify Installation: Ensure QuickBooks Database Server Manager is installed.
3. Check Firewall Settings: Ensure firewall or antivirus settings are not blocking QuickBooks services.
4. Reboot Your Computer: Restart your system to refresh all services.

If the problem persists, consider reinstalling QuickBooks.
