How to fix QuickBooks Payroll Not Responding Issue

[brinkc678]

Hi everyone,

I’m having trouble with QuickBooks Payroll—it's not responding and I can’t seem to get it to work. Whenever I try to access the payroll features, the application freezes or crashes. I've tried restarting my computer and QuickBooks, but the issue persists.

Has anyone else encountered this problem? What steps did you take to resolve it? Any advice on troubleshooting this issue would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your help!
