Methods to remove QuickBooks update error 15227

QuickBooks might even crash during the payroll update once this error influences the software. The useful techniques to get rid of the payroll error from your QBDT are mentioned stepwise below-

Solution 1- Configure the .NET Framework settings in your Windows

.NET Framework is a platform used by Windows to develop and run its applications. In case it gets damaged or malfunctions due to incorrect settings, you will face problems installing or updating the PC applications. QuickBooks can also run into trouble during the payroll updates due to incorrect setup of the .NET Framework on your system. We advise that you get professional help to fix the .NET framework, as slight mistakes can lead to the corruption of the entire operating system. You can try configuring the .NET framework settings manually, as shown below-

1. Press Windows+X together and click the Settings option in the pop-up menu to launch the control panel.
2. Access the Apps menu and tap the Program and Features option located below the Related settings option.
3. Tap the Turn Windows Features on or off option and scroll down to find the .NET framework settings.
4. If the .NET Framework 4.8 checkbox is marked, single-click to unmark it and mark it if unmarked.
5. Do the same with the NET Framework 3.5 checkboxes and save the settings.
6. Close the control panel menu and try downloading the latest tax table updates in your QuickBooks.

If the payroll error emerges after fixing the .NET framework, move to the next solution.

Solution 2- Arrange the timings of your system clock

Intuit servers try to sync the timings of the payroll update with the system clock and can develop issues if the timings are inaccurate. Network issues become common if the system clock isn't accurately set, which might cause the system's internet connection to lapse. Refer to these steps-

1. Right-click the system clock on the bottom right of the screen (taskbar) and select the Adjust Date & time option.
2. You can tap the Set time automatically option or set up the timings manually in the settings window.
3. Try updating the QB payroll again after fixing the system clock timings.
