Read why your QuickBooks freezes with no error
Your QB sometimes stops responding to your commands and randomly freezes during the 
accounting tasks. The main reasons that can cause the software to freeze randomly and 
malfunction are described below-
• The QBWUSER.ini file stored on your Windows is damaged, or QuickBooks cannot run 
it due to insufficient folder permissions.
• QuickBooks cannot use the system resources or run its background processes due to a 
non-admin Windows account.
• QuickBooks processes are interrupted by minor glitches or bugs that stop the software 
from running efficiently.
Best ways to fix QuickBooks Desktop freezing on 
your system
You won’t be able to QBDT efficiently until you fix the freezing issue, as your data might get 
damaged if an accounting task gets interrupted. The methods to stop QB from freezing 
frequently are mentioned below-
Solution 1- Sign out of QuickBooks and relaunch it after fixing the 
QBWUSER.ini
The QBWUSER.ini file stored on your system contains info on the QuickBooks account you 
use to access the financial records. The software runs the QBWUSER.ini file randomly 
during launch and running to keep the data in sync with the Intuit servers. If QB faces 
problems running the file, it might lag or stop responding to the commands you give. You 
need to tackle the QB freezing issue by recreating the QBWUSER.ini file as mentioned in 
the steps given below-
• Open your QBDT and sign out of all the data files.
• Close the software and access C: Users\Public\Intuit\QuickBooksXX\ini.
• Right-click the QBWUSER.ini file and select the Rename option in the list.
• Type ‘.old’ after the file extension and save the file as ‘QBWUSER.ini.old.’
• Relaunch your QuickBooks and perform the accounting task that introduced lag in 
the software.

Solution 2- Sign in from your Windows admin account or grant 
admin permissions to QuickBooks
QuickBooks can also freeze and stop working efficiently due to non-admin permissions 
to access the files on the system or use the resources. We advise you to sign in with 
your Windows admin account to let QB bypass the firewall or grant the software admin 
rights as defined below-
• Launch the file explorer and go to the QuickBooks folder in the C: drive.
• Right-click QB’s launch icon, i.e., QuickBooks.exe, and select the Properties option.
• Go to the Compatibility tab and single-tap the Run this program as Administrator 
checkbox to mark it.
• Save the settings and launch your QuickBooks again.
