Quickbooks 2012 and Windows 10

0 Comments

Another current issue. Trying to get QB2012 w/Flash to work properly in Windows 10.

So far, the following didn’t fix it:

  • Repair Installation
  • Uninstall, manually remove intuit from programdata, program files\*
    remove Intuit, QB, quickbooks from registry
    clean install
  • DISM / SFC – no errors found or fixed
  • Creating VM to diagnose issues..

Notable, both systems failed to allow proper entry of license numbers using keypad.. use left numbers to enter properly. Indicates a Microsoft.NET issue. did not affect the VM.

Systems were upgraded to Crucial SSD, and memory tested clean.


This took quite a long time to isolate, as there were no real error dialogs. The solution to repair this one was to upgrade windows 10 over itself (refresh install), then run the DISMs, then finally SFC. still can’t tell what core file was fixed, but DISM/SFC alone would not fix this one.

This issue was not easily reproduceable, but fixed all 3 computers I’ve come across.

DISM/SFC Commands (in Admin mode)

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
sfc /scannow
ipconfig /flushdns
arp -d
netsh interface ip delete arpcache
gpupdate /force
netsh int ip delete arpcache
netsh int ip reset
netsh winsock reset

Update: If this doesn’t fix it, log in as admin (run as admin won’t work), use task manager to kill all QB*.exe processes, then run QB as administrator, force update, reboot. This fixes a good few other issues related to Active Directory.
