Hi danno3,

We won't encourage admin users to disable the QuickBooks Utility, as it may affect some functions in the QuickBooks program. It's designed to stop any programs from running without the user's permission and limits any progressions on your framework.

If you really want to disable it, I recommend getting assistance from an IT professional.

Feel free to go back to this thread if you have other questions in mind. I'm just around to help.
