Critical Fixes Update Stuck

Hi, @GreenDre.

I'm here to help fix the issue you're having with updating payroll in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) Accountant.

I appreciate the steps you've done to resolve this. Since the issue persists after uninstalling and reinstalling QBDT, let's run the built-in Rebuild and Verify tools. This automatically fixes minor company file data issues.

Here's how to do it:

1. In QBDT, go to the File menu, then hover over Utilities and select Rebuild Data.
2. On the QuickBooks Information window, select OK. Follow the onscreen steps to save a backup.
3. Let the tool repair your file. It may take some time. QuickBooks may seem stuck, but as long as you can move your mouse, the tool is working.
4. When the tool finishes, select OK.
5. Go to the File menu. Then hover over Utilities and select Verify Data.
6. Let the tool check your file for data issues.

If QuickBooks doesn't find any problems, select OK. You can keep using your company file. You don't have any data damage. If it finds an issue, select Rebuild Now.

Once done, try to run the payroll update again to double-check. You can check out this article for further guidance: Get the latest payroll tax table update.
