Reasons
This error prevents QuickBooks from downloading the payroll update because of problems with 
network connectivity. The following reasons can affect the internet connection on your system-
If the TLS settings are incorrect, QuickBooks and all other PC apps risk losing internet 
connection.
Incorrect/incompatible web browser set as default in your Windows.
Junk files like cache or cookies might also create problems while surfing the internet.
Solutions
Your financial data in the software is entirely secure, and you can easily remove the error by 
configuring your system setting. The methods below will help you eliminate the problem from 
your PC-
Solution 1- Set TLS settings of your Windows as per QB 
preferences
TLS or Transport Layer Security keeps your data secure and unharmed from unauthorized 
access or malware. If these settings are incorrectly set in Windows, all the applications might 
face trouble connecting to the internet and executing their tasks. QuickBooks faces a similar 
issue, and the software's payroll updates might be affected due to poor internet connection. 
Use the steps below-Approach the Run window by pressing the Windows+R keys.
• Remove the auto-filled information to ensure the search field is empty and type 
‘inetcpl.cpl.’
• Press Enter after entering the command to visit the Internet Properties window.
• Go to the Advanced tab and move down the list to reveal the TLS settings checkboxes.
• Ensure the Use TLS 1.2 setting is selected and all the other TLS settings aren’t.
• Tap Apply and close the window.
• Reopen QuickBooks and try executing the online task that developed this error.
Check out the next solution if the connectivity error again blocks the QBDT functions.
Solution 2- Select an inbuilt Web browser of the OS as the 
default system browser
A significant reason for the hindrance in your network connection can be an incompatible 
web browser set as default on your system. You must use the original Windows browsers 
as default to ensure QBDT doesn’t suffer from connectivity issues while running. Here are 
the steps-Open the Control Panel menu and approach the Apps option inside.
• Navigate to the left panel and select Default Apps.
• Click Web Browser and choose from Microsoft Edge or Internet Explorer.
Save the changes and reopen QuickBooks to execute the task that caused this error.
