yes it started for me about 12 noon EST, USA, and I get a message that says... "Something went wrong" Close the app and try again later... which sends you in an endless loop...

still a problem at 5:46pm EST 8/4/25

i just uninstalled the desktop app, and then went to the start menu and right clicked on the QB app icon that is still there...

I right clicked it and choose - go to file location - and then deleted the shortcut that was there and then re-installed the app again... and it worked for me...

seems like this program makes two shortcuts and the first one I deleted and that got it to work - which really doesn't make sense but it worked for me...

I did that and tech person I talked to showed message to your back end team and they didn't seem to have an answer...

I did the procedure I mentioned and it worked for me...

But... now 8/5/25 

QB Online Desktop app is not starting again

8/4/25 QuickBooks online desktop app stopped working...

I called QB tech support and they couldn't help...

It tries to start and then a dialog box comes up ... "Something went wrong" 

then a button "Try again" and when clicking that button...

then goes into this endless loop of not starting and this message comes up again... and again...

I uninstalled the app and reinstalled the app and then noticed that a shortcut it didn't remove so I rt clicked and deleted the short cut and then reinstalled the app and it worked on 8/4/25

Now today 8/5/25 it is doing the same thing...

Has this happened to anybody else?

I think it has something to do with my VPN...

I use Proton VPN, when I turned this off ... QBO desktop app works...

sad cause I want to use a VPN

I think it has something to do with my VPN...

I use Proton VPN, when I turned this off ... QBO desktop app works...

sad cause I want to use a VPN

I had to edit my settings in the VPN...  THIS APP should work without me doing that...

Hope you are back up now.

So far mine is still working since I uninstalled and reinstalled.
