I'm using Desktop Pro Plus 2024.  My Help Menu will not work at all for anything.  I had this problem before on earlier versions and had a call in to QB support.  As soon as they called it came up but then wouldn't work after that.  I just quit and gave up but would really like to have it.  Any help would be appreciated.

I understand you're experiencing some difficulties, Elissiah, and I want to offer my assistance to get your Help menu up and running smoothly again.

 

I recommend utilizing the QB Tool Hub, designed specifically to fix problems like software crashes, error messages, or faulty features. This could be a great solution to help streamline your experience. You can follow these steps:

 

  1. Close QuickBooks.
  2. Download the most recent version  (1.6.0.8) of the QuickBooks Tool Hub to get the best result when using the tool. Save it somewhere you can easily find it. 
  3. Open the file you downloaded (QuickBooksToolHub.exe).
  4. Follow the on-screen steps to install and agree to the terms and conditions.
  5. When the installation finishes, double-click the icon on your Windows desktop to open the tool hub.

 

For further guidelines, please see this article: Fix common problems and errors with the QuickBooks Desktop Tool Hub.

 

Additionally, you can generate reports to regularly assess your business status, which not only aids in day-to-day management but also significantly contributes to long-term strategic planning and success.

Unfortunately the QB tool hub didn't help me at all.  I have nothing when I try to use the Help option.

I appreciate your effort in following the steps provided by my colleague, @Elissiah. Let's dive more into this and perform other troubleshooting to get your Help menu to work.

 

Keeping your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) updated with the latest release will help fix and retrieve the functionality of the Help menu. Before doing so, I recommend uninstalling and then reinstalling the system to have the newest features and product improvements.

 

Note: Before doing the steps below, it's important to back up your QBDT company file to avoid data loss.

 

To uninstall QBDT, here's how:

 

  1. Open the Windows Start menu. Search for “Control Panel”, then open Control Panel.
  2. Click Programs and Features or Uninstall a Program.
  3. From the list of programs, select the version of QuickBooks Desktop you want to remove.
  4. Choose Uninstall/Change, Remove, and then Next.  
  5. If you don’t see this option, sign out and sign back into Windows as an admin (or a user with admin rights).

 

After that, download and install QBDT to open your company file. For the step-by-step guide, please see this article: Install QuickBooks Desktop.

 

If the issue persists, I highly recommend contacting our QuickBooks Live Team so they can help you further with this.
