Here&rsquo;s how:<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>First, close your QuickBooks application.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Next, download the latest version of QuickBooks Tool Hub and then save the .exe file.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Open the .exe file and follow the installation instructions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wait till the installation process is complete and then double-click on the <strong>QuickBooks Tool Hub<\/strong> icon to start the tool.<\/li>\n<\/ul><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Method 7 &ndash; Run the Tool in Compatibility Mode<\/strong><\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the QuickBooks Tool hub fails to open after Windows upgrade or updates, then you can try to run the tool in compatibility mode. This mode allows you to open older apps and programs on the latest version of Windows.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To use it, right-click on the <strong>QuickBooks Tool Hub<\/strong> icon and select <strong>Properties.<\/strong> Under the <strong>QuickBooks Tool Hub Properties<\/strong> window, click the <strong>Compatibility<\/strong> tab, check the box for &ldquo;Run this program in compatibility mode for,&rdquo; and select a suitable older version of Windows.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"364\" height=\"551\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Run-the-Tool-in-Compatibility-Mode.png\" alt=\"Run Compatibility Troubleshooter to check QuickBooks tool hub compatibility\" class=\"wp-image-202241 apply-gradient-on-post-images\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.6606170598911071;width:364px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Run-the-Tool-in-Compatibility-Mode.png 364w, https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Run-the-Tool-in-Compatibility-Mode-198x300.png 198w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 364px) 100vw, 364px\" \/><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"quickbooks-file-doctor-still-not-working?-alternative-solutions-to-repair-company-file\">QuickBooks File Doctor Still Not Working?
