[emman.san.t.oa.3]

When QuickBooks Web Connector stops working, the first and most effective step is to restart the Web Connector application. This simple action can resolve temporary glitches, memory conflicts, or stalled background processes that prevent it from syncing properly with QuickBooks or third-party apps.

How to Restart QuickBooks Web Connector:​

1. Close QuickBooks Desktop completely.
2. Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager.
3. Look for WebConnector.exe in the list of running processes.
4. If it’s there, right-click it and choose End Task.
5. Now, relaunch QuickBooks.
6. Go to File > Update Web Services to reopen the Web Connector window.
7. Select your application and click Update Selected to test the connection.

Why This Works:​

Restarting clears any temporary errors or memory locks that may be preventing the Web Connector from launching or syncing. It also ensures that QuickBooks and the Web Connector are starting fresh, without leftover background conflicts.

If restarting doesn’t solve the issue, the next steps would include:

• Checking for missing or corrupted .QWC files
• Verifying that QuickBooks is running as administrator
• Ensuring your third-party app is properly registered in the Web Connector
• Reviewing firewall or antivirus settings that might be blocking the connection
