I understand your concerns, @GroverDG and @Tonst3r, as this will impact the team's workflow. Given the importance of multi-user access, any issues that arise should be addressed as soon as possible. Let’s collaborate to troubleshoot this and ensure an uninterrupted workflow.
The error QBCFMonitorService not running occurs when the firewall prevents your file from running or when the file has become damaged. Also, using an outdated QuickBooks Database Server Manager can cause this error. Therefore, our phone support team requires you to download the latest version to ensure that the QuickBooks Database Server Manager is up to date.
If your Windows firewall is preventing the QBCFMonitorService.exe file from functioning properly, we can configure your firewall settings to resolve the problem.
To begin with, let's download and install QuickBooks Tools Hub:
- Close the QuickBooks application.
- Download the most recent version (1.6.0.8) of the QuickBooks Tool Hub. Save the file somewhere you can easily find it (like your Downloads folder or your Windows desktop). Note: If you've installed Tool Hub before, you can find out which version you have. Select the Home tab. The version will be on the bottom.
- Open the file you downloaded (QuickBooksToolHub.exe).
- Follow the on-screen steps to install and agree to the terms and conditions.
- Once the installation finishes, double-click the icon on your Windows desktop to open the tool hub.
To proceed with Step 2 and Step 3, kindly follow the step-by-step guidance in this article: Set up firewall and security settings for QuickBooks Desktop.
If the issue persists, let's connect with our Live Support Team to troubleshoot the problem in real time. They have the tools and resources needed to identify the causes and provide immediate solutions.
