In Windows Startup we have an unknown entry as show in the attached image. The path, c:\program files(x86)\common files\intuit\quickbooks\" exists. The folder \qbupdate\  and file qbupdate.exe does both do not exist. We have Quickbooks Desktop installed installed in c:\program files\intuit\quickbooks 2024\". However qbupdate.exe exist in "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Intuit\QuickBooks\QBUpdate\" (this is the path in several places in the registry). I have not been able to figure out how to change the path c:\program files(x86)\common files\intuit\quickbooks\qbupdate.exe"   to "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Intuit\QuickBooks\QBUpdate\qbupdate.exe", either a registry edit or via Quickbooks installation/repair. I did a repair, no solution. I uninstalled Quickbooks 2024, run a registry cleaner, rebooted the computer and re-installed QB 2024. That didn't solve the problem. The issue doesn't seem to affect the operation of QB, even after I disable the offending Startup setting. I manually update Quickbooks from time to time.
