Reasons
QuickBooks fails to process the company file if the following conditions develop 
on your PC-
1. If the data file location specified in QuickBooks is incorrect or the file has 
recently been moved to another location.
2. The file opened in QuickBooks is damaged, and the software develops 
issues whenever it tries to process it.
3. You tried opening a data file with a different format (.qbm or .qbb) other 
than QuickBooks.
Solutions
The following methods will help you rectify issues with your company file-
Method 1- Open a different company file while suppressing 
QuickBooks Desktop
QuickBooks automatically opens the unclosed Windows left while closing the 
company file. You’ll face trouble accessing your company file if there are many 
unclosed Windows or if the opened company file in QuickBooks suffers damage. 
You can rectify the issue by suppressing QB Desktop to open another company 
file and turning off the Save the Desktop option. Follow the steps mentioned 
below-
1. Type ‘QuickBooks’ in the search panel and wait for the search results to 
appear.
2. Press the Ctrl key on your keyboard and open your QuickBooks. Keep the key 
pressed until you see the No Company Open Window or QuickBooks develop 
an error.
3. Open a different company file from the file option.
4. If the data file opens without issues, click the Edit menu and tap Preferences.
5. Click Don’t save the Desktop and then Ok.
6. Close QuickBooks and relaunch it to open the company file.
If the data file fails to open again, jump to the next solution.
Method 2- Try opening your company file from a different 
location
This error can also develop if the file path to the company file is broken or you 
recently moved the file to a different location. To prevent issues, try opening the 
company file from a different location. You must also ensure you open the .qbw 
format company file and not .qbb or .qbw. Apply the following steps-
1. Type your company file extension with the * mark at the front.
2. Go to the location of the company file you want to open.
3. Right-click on the .qbw file and select Copy.
4. Move this file to your desktop and open QuickBooks.
5. Click File and tap Open or Restore company.
6. Select the company file you moved to the desktop and tap Open.
The data will open without any issues on your QuickBooks Desktop.
