This is not the experience that we would want you to have, @ITGuy22.

As I check here on my end, there's an ongoing investigation about QuickBooks Desktop crashing and then stops working. Our Product Development Team is aware of this issue and currently working on a fix.

What I can do is I can help you get in touch with our QuickBooks Desktop Support team. This way, they can add you to the list of affected users. 

Refer to this article so you can contact our support team outside of the product: Contact QuickBooks Desktop support.

If there's anything else that you'd like me to help you with, know that you can always get back to me anytime. I'll be more than willing to help you out again. Take care!
