You will be prompted to install the update when you launch QuickBooks the next time, and if you choose to ignore installation then the counter will display again how many time you have left before mandatory installation. Using this option you will be prompted that an update is waiting for installation the next time you open QuickBooks. Your first option is to download the maintenance release directly from the QuickBooks Downloads & Updates website and then install it as in the example shown below. If after removing the update you decide that you made a mistake and you actually did want the maintenance release you deleted, then there is nothing that prevents you from manually downloading it. Open QuickBooks, if you have followed the step appropriately for your installation of QuickBooks and QuickBooks version, you should notice that you DO NOT receive the message than an update is waiting for installation.


Directories will be specific to the version of QuickBooks.) (The path shown here is the 'default path', if you selected a different path for your QuickBooks application installation your path will be different.

You need to keep this path and directory in mind, or make a 'windows screen capture' of it, or jot it down on a piece of paper so that you have the specific directory for your specific QuickBooks. This is the location of the windows directory where the download we will be removing can be found. Note the 'Download Location' shown in the illustration above.
