@kerryboersma  RE: Has QuickBooks 2023 fixed the update option so we can turn off the automatic update?

No, and they probably won't. They don't think it's a bug. They (stupidly) think that getting updates is always a good idea for everyone all the time. Sigh. Intuit used to have a more nuanced view of things, but not so much anymore.

To make matters worse, recent updates have been marginal. Some have been horrible, and they've even had to pull one recently because it was so bad.
