Hello Debbie -
In Windows 11, the XPS Document Writer is hidden and doesn't always show up when you click on add optional features. This should work:
1. Window+R
2. Type “optionalfeatures”
3. Find Microsoft XPS Document Writer
4. Check Microsoft XPS Document Writer
5. Hit OK, let Windows run
You should now have the XPS Document Writer show as a printer.
Do the same thing for the XPS Document Viewer.

Where is the XPS Document Viewer? I am still having issues whenever I open Quickbooks and open Adobe i get error message and cant change any pages of the PDF. I followed the steps and go Microsoft XPS Document Writer... I just cant find XPS Document Viewer.
I am using Windows 11 and Quickbooks 2023 Desktop. This is a new computer with windows 11 on it.

In Windows 11, the XPS Document Writer AND Viewer are hidden and don't always show up when you click on add optional features. I posted the XPS writer info above and may not have been clear enough when I said "Do the same thing for the XPS Document Viewer." Here's the instructions on installing the XPS viewer:
1. Window+R
2. Type “optionalfeatures”
3. Find Microsoft XPS Document Viewer
4. Check Microsoft XPS Document Viewer
5. Hit OK, let Windows run
You should now have the XPS Document Viewer.
