How to Fix QuickBooks Payroll Error PS077

I’ve recently upgraded from Quick books ’16 to ’19.  Unfortunately, since then I’ve been unable to print W2’s or 941’s.  It says Error PS077, & gives me a laundry list of things to do, but I’ve been unsuccessful.  QuickBooks stated that I’ve not downloaded the current payroll update, yet I’ve done it every time I restart.  Need some help
