How to Get QuickBooks to Stop Telling Me About an Update

One way QuickBooks can frustrate you is by continually prompting you to update your software when there's a new update. You may not only get messages where there's a new update for your version, but you may also receive error messages when the update agent can't communicate to the server. Fortunately for QuickBooks users, there is an easy way to disable automatically checking for updates.
