Causes
The primary reasons for the occurrence of this QB payroll 
error in your PC are listed underneath-
 
• The Digital Signatures of the downloaded files cannot be 
verified.
• An incorrect setup of date and time on your system’s clock 
causes the payroll update to fail.
• QuickBooks installation on your system was corrupt, due to 
which the software is internally damaged.
Solutions
 
Given below are some easy techniques you can use to rectify this error-
 
Method 1- Install a Digital Signature certificate manually
 
Digital signatures are embedded in files shared over the internet to maintain 
their authenticity. These signatures are verified at the receiver’s end to 
ensure that the data hasn’t been tampered with during the transfer or that 
any unauthorized access wasn’t made. QuickBooks will fail to install the 
update if the Digital Signature verification of some files fail. You’ll have to 
install the certificate manually to prevent them from getting blocked again. 
Approach the QBW32.exe file located in C:\Program files\intuit\QuickBooks 
and refer to these steps-
 1. Right-click on the QBW32.exe file and select Properties.
2. Under the Digital Signature tab and tap intuit.inc to highlight it.
3. Click on the Details option.
4. Select View Certificate and then click on Install Certificate.
5. Select Next and finally tap Finish.
6. Restart your computer and try to install the payroll updates again.
 
If you still face issues during the installation, go for the next method.
Method 2- Set the correct time and date on your computer’s clock
 
The Intuit server and some of the web processes sync with your 
system’s clock to take the reference of the date and time of the 
update. The connection to the server can break, and the update 
will fail if the date and time aren’t correctly set. Use the steps 
below to configure the clock-
1. Right-click on the clock in the taskbar’s bottom right.
2. Click the Adjust date/time option in the pop-up list.
3. Select the Set time Automatically option or set them manually.
4. Retry downloading the tax table updates after the clock is set.
You’ll be successfully able to download the payroll updates after 
the above-given methods are applied.
