Hi there,

I'm running Win 10 Pro 21H1.[removed].

I did not try opening the sample file, as I was getting frustrated with of my time spent.  I totally uninstalled Quickbooks and reinstalled my original 2021 Pro version without doing the update.  All is working as it was before without issue.  

Not sure what to do know as far as the update(s) moving forward...as of now I will select to not do them.
