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...
