Cannot check for updates at this time error message

[pmhsu]

Does anybody have any issue when click the lacerte update under the tools and check for update, it pops an error message saying "cannot check for updates at this time. Please try again later."?

Maybe a silly question, but have you tried rebooting your computer?

[pmhsu]

Yes, reboot and reinstall.  But problem still exists.  

[IRonMaN]

If you have rebooted and reinstalled the only other suggestion I would have is to try shutting off your antivirus software before you try updating.

[pmhsu]

I did that too. but no luck... sigh....

I believe it is just the way things will be for a while. The new Background Update has sort of taken us out of the picture. https://accountants.intuit.com/support/en-us/help-article/update-products/new-2024-lacerte-silent-up... 

In the words of an old, now politically incorrect TV show - Patience, Grasshopper!

ok.  I'll wait and see.  thanks for the feedback.  I prefer the old way.  So I'm in control

Good morning. The root cause of this pop up is being researched. In the meantime, try using Web Set Up through the Start menu.
