Solutions

The following methods will help you prevent the development of this error during payroll updates in QuickBooks-

Solution 1- Enable FCS service in your Windows

Windows uses the File Copy Service (FCS) to transfer files and directories in the system. This service quickly transfers the files, which helps to increase the execution speed of tasks in PC applications. QuickBooks also utilizes the service to move its files during an update. This error code appears when the File Copy Service is disabled by the user, or it stops in the background. You need to enable the File Copy service to ensure the payroll update doesn’t get blocked again-

  1. Click Quit QuickBooks to stop it from running on your computer.
  2. Type ‘computer’ on the search panel and right-click the “My computer” or “This PC” icon.
  3. Select Manage and tap the Services &Applications option in the left side menu.
  4. Select the Services option and double-click Intuit QuickBooks FCS in the list.
  5. Navigate to the General tab and click on the Startup type arrow.
  6. Click Manual and select Apply.
  7. Tap Start and click Ok to save the settings.
  8. Run QuickBooks and update the payroll again.

Try the next solution if the payroll update stops again due to the error.

Solution 2- Run QuickBooks in Administrator mode.

QuickBooks can also develop this error when it fails to access the update file’s location or other required files during the update. It is also possible that the QB background processes get interrupted by other programs, which causes a malfunction in the software. You can use QuickBooks in Admin mode to prevent these issues from blocking the payroll updates. Use the steps given below-

  1. Type ‘QuickBooks’ in the search panel and go to the folder location.
  2. Right-click on the program launch icon and click Properties.
  3. Mark the Run this program as Administrator checkbox under the Compatibility tab.
  4. Save the settings and download payroll updates in QuickBooks again.

The payroll update will not get interrupted by the error after using these methods.
