settings. Let us tell you how:
• Ensure Internet Explorer is the default browser
• You must know that QuickBooks uses the internet explorer as its browser to have access to the 
internet. So, if Explorer isn’t set to default, then the QuickBooks update will fail. Follow the steps to 
rectify:
• Get the TLS 1.2 Utility downloaded, then launch it.
• Now verify which web browser you are using as your default, is it Internet Explorer or some other.
• Check if you are also able to open other secure websites too, like the online banking sign-in page, 
outside of QuickBooks Desktop.
• If you succeed, then the problem has been solved; if not, then turn to any IT or PC expert.
• If the error is still not resolved even after internet explorer is set as a default browser, check the 
Internet Explorer configuration settings and its connection. The final step you can take is to check 
the internet security and firewall setting.
