I appreciate the detailed post, moonslice2.
I know how important it is for your business to have access to your transactions (QuickBooks Desktop 2019) without having to log in to your Intuit account. This allows you to easily access your company files and saves your time. Let me share an alternative method for opening the desktop program smoothly.
As previously mentioned by my colleague, QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) 2019 has already been discontinued and it will not receive any updates. Thus, customers have to upgrade to the latest version to continue using it, particularly for online service features.
Since you're already using a different program, I suggest utilizing a third-party software that lets you access the desktop program with ease. The QuickBooks Apps Center is a one-stop shop for apps that integrate with QuickBooks. To expedite the process, enter a keyword in the Find Applications field. From the lists, choose the one that best meets your needs.
Allow me to share these resources that tackle the discontinuation process as well as the new custom internal browser used in QBDT:
If you wish to upgrade to a newer version of QuickBooks in the future, follow the steps outlined in this article: Upgrade QuickBooks Desktop Pro Plus, Premier Plus, or Enterprise.
Keep me posted below if you have additional questions about QuickBooks or login concerns. I'll jump right back in to answer them for you. Have a good one.
