This is the FIRST time I have ever posted. It's because I wasted more than half a day this week redownloading and reistalling Quickbooks for 10 separate small companies to try to rollback the update requiring me to now login using an Intuit ID and password in ADDITION to each company's separate password. But of course the "no update" settings were reset, so updates to 2019 were immedaitely added. None of the workarounds posted here actually stop it, including setting the password to 90 days, turning off access to the Internet through "Help" (a setting which does not appear to get saved), turing off integrated applications, turning off pop-ups, not Alt + F4 on the po-up, etc. Only right clicking on the top border of the pop-up then cancel get rid of it EACH time. This data and access grab by Intuit means I'll have to wait for this stupid pop up to appear EACH TIME I SWITCH AMONG MY 10 COMPANIES, ALL DAY EVERY DAY. What an incredible waste of MY time while INCREASING SECURITY RISK by connecting to the Internet and to Intuit's network. I used to recommend Quickbooks to others. No more. And no more updates, ever. Updates have screwed up my reports and settings in the past, but this new intrusion is unacceptable. Intuit can count on me to tell this story about why others should NOT buy Quickbooks, and why I'm going elsewhere for software. And guess what? To even set up my "ID" to post this took several tries including sending codes to my email, requiring my phone number THEN getting bounced out for "too many redirects". Terrible system, ridiculous double login requirement for MY OWN DESKTOP COMPUTER'S DATA.
