What causes this error during the QB payroll update?

Your QBDT gets infected with this when you download or install the payroll updates on your computer. The potential causes for the development of this payroll error on your system are discussed below-

1. The CPS folder stored on your system has some damaged files causing problems when you update the payroll service.
2. QuickBooks is internally damaged and missing some program files due to its partial installation on your computer.
3. QuickBooks functions are blocked by the Windows Firewall restricting it from accessing the internet during the payroll update.

The best methods you can use to eliminate the error

You cannot update the payroll service on your QBDT until you take the necessary measures to remove the issues triggering this error. The feasible solutions you can use to terminate the error are mentioned below-

Solution 1- Ensure the Windows Firewall doesn’t block the internet access of QBDT

QuickBooks might face trouble updating the QB payroll service if the Windows Firewall blocks the software’s internet access. This causes problems as the software must remain connected to the internet during the update and even a minor lapse can cause damage to the payroll update package. You must adjust the Windows Firewall settings to let QB bypass the restrictions and ensure its internet connection doesn’t time out during the payroll update. QuickBooks can also face problems accessing its program files if the Windows Firewall settings aren’t properly configured. Here are the steps to arrange the Windows firewall settings-

1. Open the control panel on your system and navigate to the Windows Defender Firewall menu.
2. Click the Allow an app or feature through Windows Firewall option and choose your QB product in the program list.
3. Hit the Change Settings option and mark the Public and Private checkbox beside the QB product name.
4. Save the settings and close the control panel menu.

If the QB payroll update is blocked by the error again, move to the next solution.

Solution 2- Change the name of the damaged CPS folder

QuickBooks can also face problems during the payroll update if it fails to acquire its program files stored in the CPS folder. This can happen due to a broken file path or damaged directory and you need to rename the CPS folder name to ensure the problems do no arise again. Use these steps-

1. Launch the file explorer on your computer and go to the CPS folder in the C: drive.
2. Right-click the CPS folder and click the Rename option.
3. Type ‘OLD’ to the folder name and save it as CPSOLD.
4. Retry QB payroll updates.
