How do I fix QuickBooks Error 40003?

The first step is to check whether your QuickBooks problem is related to a specific error or if it points towards a more serious issue. To do this, you need to identify the exact error code that appears on your screen and then follow these steps:

• First of all, download and install the latest version of QuickBooks from www.quickbooks.com/downloads (if you haven’t done so already).
• Next, open up a new document in Microsoft Word or another text editor program that allows you to enter code into it (such as Notepad).
• Copy-paste the entire error message that appears on your screen into this file (or type it in yourself) without making any changes other than those required by Microsoft Word’s formatting options such as font size and color choice (unless otherwise instructed by us).

Technique 1 – Include QuickBooks in the Firewall Exception List

If you want to add QuickBooks to the firewall exception list, follow these steps:

• Open Control Panel.
• Click on System and Security > Windows Defender > Allow an app or feature through Windows Firewall.
• Select QuickBooks from the list of apps in the left-hand pane and click Properties from the right-hand pane. You can also click Advanced Settings on this page if you wish to configure some additional options for your QuickBooks installation (such as whether or not it has access to certain ports).

If your computer is running Windows 10 or later:

• Select Allow an app through Windows Firewall using rules based on file type and publisher name/location, then press Next > Next again until done; then go back up here at Step 3 above where I said something about how one way around this particular problem might be by including another program called “Microsoft Office 365” into its exception list instead of just letting them all pass through together!

Technique 2 – Run an Update for QuickBooks Desktop by Yourself

If you are running QuickBooks Desktop with Windows 10, then you can try to update it manually by following these steps:

• Run the update as described above and reboot your computer (this will restart Windows) after installing it successfully or failing to do so, go back into Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and select Check for Updates again and wait until an update window appears that says “Your PC ran successfully” which means there are no more updates available yet but they should be coming soon!
