QB (multi-user) is running on a cloud server (AWS).  All users run QB via Remote Desktop session on the server.  Most QB users are non-admins on the server, so when QB Utility get launched by QB, it requires admin rights (which the users don't have) so the user is locked out of QB.  I, as server admin, must run QB (which then launches QB Utility) and then QB opens properly for myself and all other users.

I assume QB Utility is randomly run to check for updates(?).  Is there any QB setting or any way I can prevent QB Utility from getting launched when QB opens (especially for the non-admin users)?
