    • Click Browse and navigate to the location where your company file is stored (.QBW)
    • Click ‘OK’ and then ‘Start Scan.’

    Method 6: Restore Backup Data

    If you’re still unable to launch Quick-Books after copying it to the desktop, it’s possible that your company files (.QBW) are having problems. You can address it by restoring the most recent backup.

    • Then, pick QuickBooks processes (QBW32.exe, qbupdate.exe, and QBDBMgr.exe) and press the End Task button.
