I'm very sad and disappointed to see that Intuit has deliberately failed to provide a timely, necessary, and technologically relevant solution for the dependence of its product upon outdated technology and for the dependence of its customers upon the product that they are failing to support.

I had a coach who would say, "You can't let those guys each your lunch... AND throw the bag in your face!" I can see a lot of us are tired of the taste of brown paper with mustard stains on it.

For those who are in dire straits, there seem to be only 9 ways to resolve:1) call QB support, 2) try to upgrade QB, 3) buy a new machine with a clean OS and try installing, 4) find an old machine that will run it and keep off the internet as much as possible to avoid end of life security vulnerabilities, 5) move to QB Online (most likely why Intuit has not resolved this problem), 6) move to a competitor's product (Account Edge, Xero, Freshbooks, NetSuite, or one of Sage products as some possible starts). 7) find another QB user whose system is functioning and who has your or a newer version of QB operating and who is willing to let your run your company file at their location for a short period, 8) purchase a hosting service that offers QB Desktop so that you can run your file while you figure out what to do next, 9) declare bankruptcy. There may be other ideas, but these seem the only ones available to me, and I'd probably try 2, 3, and 8 myself before looking at the others.

By the way, My Edge browser just updated itself and then offered again to be my BBF (best browser forever.) I refused that come-on, but on that screen was a link to a link to this information for IE mode. Perhaps it will be helpful to a few of you whose systems will respond to this solution, so I guess that makes a 10th solution to add to my list.

Here's the link:

An here's a text paste of the "learn more" link on that page.

Internet Explorer mode in Microsoft Edge

Some sites are built to work with Internet Explorer and have functionality that isn't supported by modern browsers such as Microsoft Edge. If you need to view one of these sites, you can use Internet Explorer Mode in Microsoft Edge.

Most sites work better on modern browsers. Support for Internet Explorer 11 ended on June 15, 2022. We recommend only using Internet Explorer mode within Microsoft Edge only when necessary. For more information, see Learn More about Microsoft Edge. 

To turn on Internet Explorer mode, use the following steps. 

1. In the address bar for Microsoft Edge, type edge://settings/defaultbrowser and then click Enter.
   
   
2. Slide the Allow sites to be reloaded in Internet Explorer toggle to ON.
   
   
3. Restart Microsoft Edge.

Internet Explorer mode is now enabled. To view a website using Internet Explorer mode in Microsoft Edge, use the following steps.

1. Navigate to the website you want to view in Internet Explorer mode.
2. Click the three dots in the upper right corner of the browser window.
3. Select Reload in Internet Explorer Mode.
   
   If you are on Microsoft Edge version 92 or earlier select More tools > Reload in Internet Explorer Mode

To return to browsing without Internet Explorer mode, you can click Leave on the information bar at the top of the screen, or close your current tab and open a new tab in Microsoft Edge. 

NOTE: If you are on a device managed by your organization with the latest Windows updates, you will see the option to Allow sites to be reloaded in Internet Explorer under edge://settings/defaultbrowser but the setting might be greyed out. On a managed device, you will see the option Reload in Internet Explorer mode ONLY if your organization has configured the policy to "Allow unconfigured sites to be reloaded in Internet Explorer mode".

See Microsoft Edge Browser Policy Documentation.
