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.
Try this (from a prior post)...

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.
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?
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:
