How to disable Quicken 2016 from asking me to update to 2018? The program ignores the little checkbox indicating I don't want to be reminded again! I'm running Quicken Deluxe 2016 on Windows 7 Pro.

Unclick the box in the lower left corner that says to remind me in the future.

Try this (from a prior post)...
From: Robert Wilson I found a fix for the upgrade nag using Quicken 2013 Premier. Find the app/roaming folder on your machine. On my Windows 10 machine, the path is c:\Users\Username\Appdata\Roaming. From this Roaming folder, go to the \intuit\quicken\config folder. You should see a file named QUSER.INI. Double click on it to open it. To make sure that quicken is using this QUSER.INI file, notice the number after the ExecNum= (in my file, it's the 2nd line). Exit out of the QUSER.INI file. Restart Quicken. Quit Quicken. Open the QUSER.INI file. the number after ExecNum= should have increased by 1. If this is the case, change the number to 0 and save the file. Exit QUSER.INI and right click the file. Select Properties. Under the attributes section, select read only. This prevents Quicken from changing the number after ExecNum=. I found that if the number is less than 4, the nag screen doesn't appear. Note: Before doing this, make sure that the most recent files list is the way you want it. Quicken won't be able to change this list. This is not a problem for me, since I use the same file every time.

That doesn't work for me.

It should work until Quicken Inc. posts a new advertisement.

But it doesn't.

I doubt I'm the only one. It's more like "Unlucky you!"
The question is: Are you doing anything "unusual" that might prevent Quicken from tracking your request to not be reminded?

Not that I can think of. Any ideas?

What I do (2017 version) is to click the update link which just opens
the quicken web site and then go back to work. You might try that.

I suspect Quicken Inc is maintaining its "marketing" state apart from
the data file. If you haven't recently, I suggest performing a clean
uninstall, install and update. You may want to review:

To update Quicken, I recommend you download and apply the Mondo Patch:

I guess you just prefer to complain rather than try to do something
about it. LOL.
