QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) products are designed to run on a local native installation of a supported Windows or Mac OS operating system, and virtual environments are not within the recommended configuration, Artem.
While QuickBooks can operate within a virtual machine (VM), we can only provide help with QuickBooks configuration. For additional information, please refer to this article: Recommended networks for QuickBooks.
Since you're utilizing a VM for your QBDT application, it’s possible that certain behaviors, such as silent or unattended updates, may not work as expected due to the virtual machine's structure and setup.
Alternatively, consider reaching out to your VM provider’s technical support team. They can help you configure the VM permissions, automation systems, and network settings that allow third-party applications like QuickBooks to operate smoothly. Specifically, you can ask them about automating patch installations or script execution within your VM environment.
