I got your back, @got_taxes.

I appreciate the effort you have made so far to get this sorted. Worry less. Since you have me, I’ll ensure we can resolve this matter. I’ll lay out the guidelines for disabling auto-updates in your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) for Mac.

Here’s how:

1. Open your QuickBooks Desktop as an Administrator.
2. Go to the QuickBooks menu and navigate to Check for QuickBooks Updates.
3. Then, uncheck the Automatically download and install updates in the future. Once done, press the Don’t Install.
   

    

Afterward, you can refer to this resource to manually update your company file. It also ensures that you have the latest fix and features available.

Feel free to comment if you have more questions about QuickBooks-related concerns. Have a good one!
