Solution 2: Rename the file QBWUSER.ini

Renaming the QBWUSER.ini file could fix the problem if your QBWUSER.ini file is broken or missing.

When renaming a file:

1. Access the folder of the QBWUSER.ini file: People [Your user name]Quickbooks AppDataLocal [year].
2. You might need to activate hidden files and folders if you cannot see the folder.
3. Click Rename from the context menu of the QBWUSER.ini file.
4. Finish the file name with .old (example: QBWUSER.ini.old).
5. Change the file's name to EntitlementDataStore.ecml.
6. Launch QuickBooks Desktop again.

Try opening an example business file if the program launches after you rename either QBWUSER.ini or EntitlementDataStore.ecml.

Copy your file to a different folder if you can open a sample firm but not your own. From the new location, open it. (We advise using a local folder.) If your file can be opened, a damaged folder or improper folder permissions may be to blame.

Even after that, if you still cannot sign in to your file, your company file is probably corrupted. Instead, attempt to restore that file from a previous backup. You can also contact 1.855.738.2784 for the support team for advanced solutions to fix ‘QuickBooks not working’ error.
