[SOLVED] How do I disable Quicken update nag? (2023 Update)

Creating a outbound firewall rule for qw.exe and setting it to block eliminated the nag for me. A perfect and easy solution.

DIDN'T WORK

Here is a copy of what has been posted previously. Give it a try.

This worked for me although, I did have to block quickenPatch.exe also. I am running Quicken 2016 on Windows 10 and like kenn, I use Quicken as a standalone. I do not need or WANT it communicating any of my financial information across the internet. And I will never pay for subscription software. I already have a replacement in mind for when my Quicken 2016 no longer works. To block Quicken outbound communication on Windows 10: Start> Windows Defender Security Center> Advance Settings> Outbound Rules> New Rule I currently have qw.exe and quickenPatch.exe block from outbound communication.

Create the outbound firewall rule as mentioned above. It will stop your nag. If you need help, PM me and I’ll send you instructions w/screenshots.

This */does not work/* on Windows 10. Next!

Some geek needs to figure this out. None of the above fixes work for me!

Nope, this poster is wrong. we've been running Quicken on a local network with one shared data file for a few decades now. each machine needs an install of quicken. that's it
