Solutions

This error will repeatedly pop up whenever you try updating the payroll or sending your employee salaries using the service. The methods to help you counter the payroll problem are mentioned underneath-

Solution 1- Manually verify the Digital Signature Certificate of QB files

The electronic code helps the receiver system judge the files' authenticity and neglect them if they have been tampered with or accessed during the transfer.

You can encounter this error during the payroll update if the Digital Signature verification of the QB files fails and the software fails to run them. You can resolve the issue by installing the Digital Signatures manually, as shown in the steps below-

1. Use your file explorer (Windows+E) to go to C:\ProgramFiles\Intuit\QuickBooks.
2. Right-click the QBW32.exe file inside the QB folder and select Properties.
3. Check the program list under the Digital Signature tab and ensure Intuit is highlighted.
4. Click the Details option and select View Certificate below the Digital Signature Details window.
5. Click Install Certificate in the certificate window and keep hitting Next until you see Finish.
