    Hi Andrew42Morey 

    QuickBooks Error Code C=224 typically occurs when there's a problem with the data in the company file, often related to damaged transaction data or an issue with the file itself. Since you've already restarted QuickBooks and your computer without success, follow these steps to resolve the error:

    1. Verify QuickBooks Version Compatibility: Ensure QuickBooks Desktop Pro 2023 is fully compatible with your version of Windows 10. Check for any updates for both QuickBooks and your operating system.
    2. Copy the Company File to Another Location: Make a copy of your company file (.QBW) and paste it to a different location on your computer or network drive. Sometimes, accessing the file from a different location can bypass the error.
    3. Run QuickBooks File Doctor: Use the QuickBooks File Doctor tool to scan and repair any damaged company files or data. This tool can automatically fix many types of file-related issues, including Error Code C=224.
    4. Check for Data Damage: If the error persists, use the Verify Data and Rebuild Data utilities in QuickBooks to check for and repair data damage within the company file.
    5. Review Recent Changes: Reflect on any recent changes or transactions entered into QuickBooks before the error started occurring. Undoing or correcting recent changes may resolve the issue.

    If the error persists after trying these steps, contact QuickBooks support for further assistance. Provide them with details about your system configuration, steps taken to troubleshoot, and any error messages encountered.
