How to Resolve QuickBooks Error 61?

QuickBooks Error 61

QuickBooks error 61 is usually caused by malfunctioning hardware or corrupted file and when the software experiences issues with Windows registry or .NET framework.

  5. After installing the updates, reboot system

TIP: Always check and update QuickBooks® after installing major operating system updates to avoid conflicts and errors.

  2. Click and open Turn Windows features on or off
  3. Select .NET checkboxes and click ‘OK’
  4. Click ‘Let Windows Update download the files for you’

  1. After installation, restart the system

Solution 5: Restore QuickBooks® Company File

To restore QuickBooks® company file, you need a local backup that you may have created earlier. If not, skip to the next solution.

  1. Go to File>Backup Company>Restore Previous Local Backup
  1. Follow the wizard to choose the backup file and restore QuickBooks®

Solution 6: Use QuickBooks® Rebuild Data Utility

  1. Go to File>Utilities and click on Rebuild Data
  1. Click the OK button if a prompt appears to back up the company file
  2. Wait for a while and then click OK when ‘Rebuild has completed’ message appears
  3. After the rebuild, go to File>Utilities>Verify Data
