Dear QuickBooks,
How about fixing the problem? This is a known issue, nothing in this thread fixes it. I called support, they had no idea how to fix the problem. I went through chat hoping to get someone at QB that knows what they are doing (again, no joy and not unexpected).
Every time they upgrade the program they introduce new bugs and stupid requirements (subscription anyone?) to use the software. If there were alternatives (no online versions do not count) QB would be out of business by now because they cannot for the lives of themselves solve a problem.
Nor do they care to.
All the care about is the cash cow that they have and nothing else.
So, again, I will reiterate my opening statement, hey QB, how about you fix the problem? Come up with a real solution or a patch to fix this problem. I know no one, especially in corporate areas, that want your automatic updates posting on their workstation. They want to be able to test them in an isolated environment to find out what new bugs you have introduced before turning it loose in production. I run a virtual machine at home to test the new versions and patches first for this exact reason. I had to upgrade this time to fix a payroll problem otherwise I would still be on 2020.
That's why we want, no, NEED the capability of turning automatic updates OFF.
Fix it and stop responding with worthless solutions and especially your worthless platitudes.
