Hi azpcp!
I understand that you don't want to keep the QuickBooks Database Server Manager running. I'm here to help you.
The QuickBooks Database Server Manager is required when setting up the company file on a multi-user network. Although you're not accessing the file at the same time, uninstalling it will cause errors because it's needed to sync or share your company file with other computers over your network.

- Open the Windows Start menu, then search and open Control Panel.
- Select Programs and Features or Uninstall a Program.
- From the list of programs, select your version of the QuickBooks Desktop you want to uninstall.
- Click Uninstall/Change, then Remove and Next.
Once done, please follow the steps in this article on how to reinstall it: Install QuickBooks Desktop.
