[SOLVED] How to disable Quicken 2016 from asking me to update to 2018? Solved

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 replying to kenneth63, Robert Wilson wrote: 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.

But it does.

Lucky you!

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:

Thanks. Looks like a perfect solution.

scott s. Robert Wilson posted this a couple of weeks ago. I used it and found it to work well R. Wink

yeah, for this I want to do a whole reinstall. LOL.

That is what I had been doing, and have posted that another guy.

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

This seems to work for me.

This seems to work for me.

I uncheck mine every time I start up, still the nag is there next time

That is pretty amazing.
