Why Does QuickBooks Error 15222 Occur?
There are many different reasons why you get QuickBooks error 15222 when downloading a payroll or QuickBooks update. Some common causes of this error message are:
- Basically, anti-spyware, anti-malware, or anti-adware sees QuickBooks updates as a threat. In this case, we must note that QuickBooks error 15222 has nothing to do with antivirus unless it is combined with anti-spyware.
- This error occurs when the digital signature of the registry no longer works and the feature is activated in Internet Explorer.
- When Internet Explorer is not set as the default browser.
How to Fix QuickBooks Error 15222?
Install Digital Signal Certificate:
- In the initial step, we need to close QuickBooks Desktop. This must be done at an early stage because if Quickbooks is open, the Digital Signatures tab will not be visible.
- In the next step, we need to right-click on QBW32.exe which is located in C:\Program Files\Intuit\QuickBooks, and select Properties.
- Next, we need to click on the Digital Signature tab. In this case, make sure that Intuit, Inc. has been selected in the list of signatures.

- Then, in the Certificates window, click Install Certificate.
- We must keep clicking on the “Next” button until the “Finished” message appears.
- After the complete process, restart the computer, open QuickBooks, and download the update again.
Update Some Software:
Some exceptions such as Intuit.com, QuickBooks.com, and Payroll.com domains require us to update certain software such as anti-adware, anti-malware, anti-spyware, or antivirus software to track them.
Verify Internet Explorer Settings:
- First, we need to set Internet Explorer as the default browser.
- Next, we need to check whether the computer’s time and date are correct.
- The next step would be to check the strength of the encryption.
- Then we should update all settings by clicking on Tools and then selecting Internet Options. We need to select “Delete” which is in the General tab. Next, we need to select Temporary Internet files and click “Delete”. Lastly, we need to choose LAN Settings in the Connections tab.
