  2. Introduction What is the QuickBooks Utility Application?

Note to Presenter: Explain that while this application is legitimate, constant pop-ups indicate an underlying configuration or permission issue.

  3. Common Symptoms How Does the Issue Appear? Repeated pop-up asking for admin access every time QuickBooks opens. Frequent interruptions when switching between users or modules. The system slows down or QuickBooks freezes after pop-up appears. Users may see "QuickBooks Utility Application requires permission" messages.
