while connecting to the servers.

resulting in damaged program files.

The error can be resolved by executing the method stepwise as 
given below-
Method- Fix all the network connectivity issues that 
can affect the payroll update
A poor network connection can be the root of many errors in 
QuickBooks as well as other applications on your PC. If the 
software fails to maintain a connection with the servers, the 
payroll will instantly stop, and it is also possible that the update 
package will get damaged. You must start by checking the 
Internet speed on your system. Refer to these steps-
1. Utilize your web browser to visit Google.
2. Run a search for ‘Internet Speed test’ and click on the first link 
in the search results to start the test.
3. Wait until the test is complete and match the results with QB 
requirements of a 3Mbps average and a 1.5Mbps minimum 
internet speed.
You’ll have to upgrade the network connection by changing the 
hardware or your network service provider, whichever is necessary. 
Suppose the internet speed of your system is satisfactory as per the 
QuickBooks demands. In that case, you must proceed to delete the 
cache, cookies, and other temporary files from the web browser, which 
may be causing the connectivity issues. Refer to these steps-
1. Open your web browser and press Ctrl+Shift+delete to open 
the browsing history.
2. Select cache, cookies, and all the other temporary files and 
click on Clear Data to remove them from the web browser.
The next measure you can take is setting up the default web 
browser. An incompatible third-party browser will develop issues 
when QuickBooks tries to integrate to execute its functions. Intuit 
always recommends using the default browsers of your OS to 
prevent connection issues. Apply the steps given below-
1. Search ‘Default apps’ and open its window from the search 
results.
2. Click on a Web browser and choose Internet Explorer/Microsoft 
Edge.
3. Save the settings and try updating the payroll service again in 
QuickBooks.
This procedure will fix all the network connectivity issues that 
might hinder the payroll update.
