Resolve the error quickly with the troubleshooting guidance 
provided by a QB expert at 1-855-856-0042.

Reasons
QBDT sometimes becomes inconvenient to work due to sudden crashes or 
freezing issues.
 
This mostly happens due to the reasons we have compiled in the list below-
• The QBWUSER.ini file is damaged and can no longer be used by QBDT when it 
opens or runs.
• A non-admin Windows account can cause problems in QBDT when it tries to 
access the company file or run its background processes.
• QBDT and numerous other PC applications can struggle to run due to damaged 
Windows components on your system.
Solutions
Your QuickBooks will crash in between its functions without any warning, leading 
to an instant termination of the ongoing accounting tasks. You can get rid of the 
crashing issue by applying the following techniques on your PC-
Solution 1- Repair the QBWUSER.ini and entitlement.ecml file 
stored on your system
QuickBooks is dependent on its program files for retrieving data required for it to run 
smoothly. The software struggles to run and can even crash unexpectedly if it fails to 
access its program files, or they fail to run. QBWUSER.ini is one of the program files 
that stores information of all the user accounts you use to access the company files. 
The software runs this file to verify your identity and prevent unauthorized access to 
the financial data. However, the software crashes instantly when it fails to run this file 
due to its corrupt format. You must fix the file using the steps below-
• Open the file explorer and go to 
C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Intuit\QuickBooksXX.
• Right-click the QBWUSER.ini and entitlement.ecml files individually.
• Select the Rename option and add ‘.old’ as an extension to both files without 
changing their names.
• Save both files with their new name and try running QuickBooks again.
If the software freezes or stops running, check out the next solution.
Solution 2- Launch QuickBooks with Administrator access
QBDT can also struggle to run and crash inappropriately when it fails to run its 
background processes or access its program files from your system drives. You’ll 
have to grant admin rights to your QuickBooks to ensure it doesn’t get blocked 
while running. You can either sign in from your Windows admin account or run 
QuickBooks in admin mode as shown in the following steps-
• Right-click the QuickBooks.exe file you use to open the software.
• Select the Properties option and move under the Compatibility tab.
• Single-click the Run this program as Administrator checkbox to mark it and 
save the settings by clicking Apply.
