Hello there, @Burkemperlawn1.

Let's get updates from our download website so you can access the QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) program and get back to business in no time.

You can do updates from outside the QBDT program. Since you're unable to access the system, you can go directly to our download site to complete this process. Here's how:

1. Go to the Downloads & Updates page and select the standard setup. 
2. From Select Country, select your country.
3. From Select Product, select your product.
4. From Select Version, select your version (year).
5. Select Search.
6. Click Get the latest updates.
7. When the download finishes, open the file to install the update. After the installation, restart your computer.

You can read this article for the complete guide to keeping your QuickBooks updated: Update QuickBooks Desktop to the latest release.

Once everything is all set, you may also want to check out one of our Help pages as your reference to guide you in managing your business's growth and transactions in QBDT: QuickBooks Learn and Support. It includes help articles, Community discussions with other users, and video tutorials, to name a few.

Let me know if you have other account management concerns or questions about updating QBDT. I'm always ready to help. Take care, and I wish you continued success, @Burkemperlawn1.
