I DO NOT WANT TO UPDATE AT THIS TIME SO THEY WON%27T LET ME IN

What QB Desktop year version do you run? 2024 or older?

Hello, 0940.

I understand how important it is for you to have the flexibility to control automatic updates at your convenience. I acknowledge the impact this has on your workflow and will provide guidance to get you back on track.

Since you've mentioned that your update is currently at 27% and you want to stop it due to being unable to log in, please note that stopping the update process early could potentially affect some files due to the incomplete update.

If you’d still like to move forward, here are the steps to manually end the task:

1. Close QuickBooks.
2. Right-click on the taskbar or on your keyboard press Ctrl+Alt+Delete, then select Task Manager.
3. Under the details tab, look for the following background processes to select and End task for each.
   • QBW32.exe or QBW.exe
   • QBCFMonitorService.exe
   • qbupdate.exe
   • QBDBMgr,exe or QBDBMgrN.exe
   • QBMapi32.exe
4. Right-click on the QuickBooks shortcut and select Run as administrator.

Once you're able to close the patch update, let's proceed to manually turn off the auto-update option in QuickBooks. Here's how:

1. Go to the Help menu and select Update QuickBooks Desktop.
2. In the Options tab, select No for the Automatic Update option.
3. Once done, click Close.

You can check the screenshot below for reference:

From there, you'll be able to disable the automatic updates option in QuickBooks moving forward.
