My QuickBooks 2019 Pro Desktop is set up for automatic updates but I keep getting notices when I open the program that updates are available and asking if I want to install them.  Isn't the whole point of automatic updates to avoid this?

No. You're always asked if you want to install the updates.

Thanks.  But will the update install automatically since I'm set up for it if I ignore the update messages?  I set up auto updates thinking I would avoid the manual method but it sounds like that's not the case.  Maybe I'm missing something.

Hi there, @jam11.

 

Thanks for reaching out to us for your concern. I can help check why your getting an update notices when opening QuickBooks.

 

QuickBooks should be automatically downloading the update when it is released since you configure the program to this feature. Now, you have one option to check why you're still prompt to update.

 

This can be a one time messages and may be disabled through Preferences.

 

Here's how:

  1. Go to the Edit tab.
  2. Select Preferences.
  3. In the General tab, click My Preferences.
  4. See if the Bring back all one time messages feature is enabled. If so, you may unchecked the box and see if you'll still encounter the same thing.

 

This information should help you disabled the update reminder. Let me know how things go after following the steps above. If you have other questions aside from this, just leave a reply below. I'd be glad to answer.
