Hello @Phyllisj! I'm glad to see you in the Community today. :)
This is a new feature with updates in QuickBooks Desktop. I know it can be frustrating to run updates during your workday, but we have found there to be many issues that come from postponing updates for long periods of time. This feature is to keep everyone's accounts operating efficiently and with fewer bugs.
I'm more than happy to give your feedback to our developers though and if you have any more questions, please feel free to reply to this post. All of us here are happy to help!
