Thank you.  These reports of what might help others (when QB has failed or refused to) took a lot of time, efforts and experimentation.   Is there not an answer as to ...

Why has this problem existed for at least 2-3 years and QB's programmers/designers have not been able to either fix the problem or write new code?

Why does QB, knowing the problem exists, continue to give "run around" cut-and-paste replies to uninstall and reinstall?

Why is QB's not supporting this 2021 product, which apparently impacted the 2020 product, the 2019 product, perhaps earlier editions and even its enterprise editions?
