Seems the answer is clear, there is no intent to fix this bug.
the workaround i found on other threads does work if you have the Harddrive space to support it.
You download and install the QB Enterprise 2024 Trial version... BUT DO NOT OPEN IT BEYOND THE FIRST LAUNCH AFTER INSTALL and Reboot... ON THE FIRST SCREEN YOU WILL FIND A BUTTION TO EXIT QB... DO THIS. Now QB 2021 will be found by TT Biz (and i think Home & Biz) and QB 2021 will open and run normally. TT23 actually opens QB 2021 to complete the process.

As a backup i took note on how QB is mapped to TT in case i need to manually enter them next year.
Still looking for an On-Prem Desktop Solution without the "PLUS" Subscription. QB Sales tired to justify the 100x Price increase on inflation... and added functionality (functions i don't need or use). At least the MS 365 Subscription was reasonable... Intuit just wants all our Profit.
