Has anyone found a way to get rid of the highly annoying "Schedule Payments" crap that QBO keeps slamming us with?

Sadly, you cannot turn it off, disable or get rid of the stupid thing. 

Just one more way QB is showing that they care about their customers. (Sarcasm intended)

Try to pause it

Our clients have to do that when they are using MP to pay bills.

@Fiat Lux - ASIA  It's not a Recurring payment issue. 

It is that QB is trying to force users to use online bill pay.  Not all of us do or want to.  They have the feature set up so that when you go to pay a vendor, it says "Schedule Payment", instead of "Make a Payment", like it used to.  There are extra steps now, just to try and make a payment, or Mark something as paid.  

Thanks though.
