Solutions

Use the under given techniques to fix the crashing issue in your QuickBooks-

Solution 1- Rename the QBWUSER.ini and the company file

The QBWUSER.ini file contains information about all the user accounts logged in to your QuickBooks and all the company files. The software processes this file whenever it runs to verify the user details. If the software fails to process the QBWUSER.ini file due to damage or corruption, the software will turn unresponsive and might even crash suddenly. You’ll have to fix the file by renaming it, as it will be recreated once the software runs again. Use these steps-

Open file explorer on your PC and go to C:\Users\Username\App data\Local\Intuit\QuickBooks(year).
Find QBWUSER.ini file inside it and right-click on it.
Select Rename from the options and type ‘.old’ as an extension to the QBWUSER.ini file.
Save the file.

Another reason QuickBooks stops working can be a long company file name or invalid characters. You must rename your company file and remove all the characters not supported in QuickBooks. Use these steps-

Open your QuickBooks folder and right-click on the company file.
Select Rename and remove <,>,\ etc from the file name.
Save the file once edited and reopen your QuickBooks.
