Hello, jk8.

 

Using a test file is one way to isolate this issue with Automatic Update option. Meaning, if it works in the test file, the issue lies within your company file.

 

The steps shared above were the basic solutions to fix the grayed out option for Quickbooks Desktop Automatic Update. Since you've tried the possible solutions above with no avail, it would be best to reach out to our QuickBooks Care Support. They have the tools to conduct a thorough investigation for a complete resolution.

  1. Click Help at the top menu and select QuickBooks Desktop Help.
  2. In the Have a Question? window, enter a topic.
  3. Click Contact us.
  4. Hit the Stat Messaging button.
