Steps you can try to eliminate the crashing issue

QuickBooks giving abort error message is a common issue that causes the software to freeze or crash instantly. The methods recommended for you to terminate the error are discussed below-

Solution 1- Fix QBWUSER.ini & remove quarantined QB files in your antivirus

QBWUSER.ini file keeps a record of all the data files that run in the software, and the user accounts authorized to access the file. QuickBooks randomly runs this file to verify your identity and crashes instantly when it fails to process the file. This happens if the file gets damaged and becomes unreadable for the software. You must also ensure that your QB files like QBDBMgrN.exe, QBUpdate.exe, QBW32.exe, etc., don’t get blocked or isolated by an antivirus, as it can also lead the software to an unexpected crash. Turn off the antivirus on your PC and apply these steps to repair the QBWUSER.ini file-

  1. Open the file explorer using the folder icon in the taskbar and go to C: UsersAppDataLocalIntuitQuickBooksXX.
  2. Look for the QBWUSER.ini file inside the folder and right-click on it.
  3. Select Rename in the options list and type ‘.old’ at the end of the file name as an extension.
  4. Save the file and reopen your QuickBooks

If the software crashes again after displaying the abort error message, move to the next solution.

Solution 2- Give admin rights to your QuickBooks to prevent it from getting blocked

QuickBooks can also crash if it doesn’t have the folder permissions required to access its files or if it fails to use the system resources adequately. Apply the following steps to run your QBDT in admin mode-

  1. Go to the software launch icon (QuickBooks.exe) in the QB folder or use the search bar to open it.
  2. Right-click on the icon and select the Run as Administrator option.
  3. Your QuickBooks will now run with Admin rights.
