How to fix QuickBooks not responding when opening issue after update?

[ZacharyShaffer5]

I'm unable to open QuickBooks as it keeps freezing and not responding when I try to launch it. What could be causing this issue, and how can I fix it?

Hi @ZacharyShaffer5 

If QuickBooks isn't responding when opening a company file, try running the QuickBooks File Doctor tool, restarting your system, or opening the file in a different location. If the issue persists, ensure your software is updated.
