Can't close payroll message pages.

Hello.

Weird thing but when ever I get a payroll tax update or holiday alert if I open it, and sometimes its not an option,  I can't get it to close.  There seems to be no way to get out of it beside shutting it all down in Task Manager.  Anybody know of a setting I'm missing or work around?  Thanks.

Thank you.  That worked along with hiding the toolbar.  It seems that the bar a the top of the page was cut off not allowing me to move or close the window.

Thanks again.

Typical of QuickBooks to tell you to update or re-install the program to solve this issue. It is clear that this is an issue with the program. And it has been for quite some time.

 

Grab the left edge of the window and drag it left and right (sizing it bigger and smaller). When you let go, the top bar (with the X) should show up.
