Intuit Update Service

I believe this checks every once in a while whether Quicken has an update available. Probably not needed if you have the current version and release updates installed. My Help|About Quicken says Release R 7 (21.1.7.18), which I believe is the most current one.

Hi, Charlie.

WHERE are you seeing this "Intuit Update Service"? Is it in Quicken? On which menu? Like you and Han, I also run Quicken 2012, but I do not see that "service" mentioned anywhere. Is this from a third-party application that you might have installed?

When I run the One Step Update each day, I sometimes get a notice that a new Release is available, with an offer to download and install it.

Can anyone tell me what this service is and what functions it performs. It is disabled on my computer and I am trying to decide whether to enable it or not. I am currently running Quicken 2012 on WinXP.

That's what mine says as well.

I normally get my updates notices as well in Quicken when it starts if one is available.

I have recently installed System Mechanic on recommedation from Dell and one of the items I see disabled was Intuit Update Service - so I was wondering what it was. Sounds like nothing to worry about?

My CANADIAN version of Quicken 2011 has NO NEW RELEASES. Period. What gives? And, yes, I do the Updates daily.

RC: It is a service that you can see under "Services" in Windows, the services tab of Taskmanager for instance. I have a version 4, and it is set to start automatically. Apparently Charlie's "system Mechanic" is a bit overly zealous. My opinion - I would restart that service for autostart ...

Sharx: I would assume that Canadian Quicken has something similar, but I won't bet on it.

charliec =====================A google for "Intuit Update Service" produced a number of hits which all pretty much identified the process as a valid Intuit image for automatic updating and gave TurboTax as one example. Quicken, I would have to guess, uses its own method/tool... and not this service as I don't have the image on my system and have never used TurboTax but do use Q2012Dlx. Geo.

Hi, Han.

Thanks. Yes, I see TWO lines in Task Manager/Services: IntuitUpdateService IntuitUpdateServicev4

There is no detail shown for either of them (except PIDs 5388 and 2536); the Status for each is "Running". But neither is a part of Quicken itself.

Since neither is causing me any concern (I didn't even know they were there), I shall continue to ignore them. ;

I have also TT 2011. I don't know whether the service we're talking about (I have only 1, in contrast to RC) is for Q or TT.

I also have TT 2011 and Q 2012 and have two "Intuit Update Service" running, one for 8,052k and one for 1216k. I also have 63 other processes running (XP SP3) beside these two so I don't worry about it.

Thanks, RC charliec
