Solution 1: Check Your Internet Connection

Make sure you have a stable and strong internet connection before attempting to update your payroll. A weak connection can cause download issues and trigger error 15222.

  • Move to the “Processes” tab (if not already selected).
  • Review the list of running programs. Look for any programs you don’t recognize or those not essential for basic computer functions.
  • Right-click on a program you suspect might be conflicting and select “End task.”
  • Repeat steps 3 and 4 for any other programs you want to close.

Tip: Consider using the “CPU” or “Memory” columns in Task Manager to identify programs using high resources, which might be more likely to cause conflicts.

Try running the QuickBooks update again after closing any potentially conflicting software.

  • Click the Start Menu (Windows) or Apple (Mac).
  • Select the Power button.
  • Choose “Restart” from the menu.
  • Confirm the restart if prompted. Your computer will shut down completely and then power back on.

For Windows 10/11 (using keyboard shortcut):

  • Type “shutdown /r” (without quotes) in the Run window and then press the Enter key. This will initiate a restart with confirmation.
