That appears to have killed most of the garbage.  However, it did not affect the useless AI from pushing itself on me.
 

Everybody: "Hey Intuit, we'd like fewer popups and garbage that interfere with our work while we're using your product!"

Intuit: "Ok, here, have a useless AI 'helper' that you can't turn off at all, ever!"

Thanks, Intuit. You're doing a fantastic job of listening to your customers.

INTUIT STILL SUCKS!!!  I CAN'T BLOCK THE POP-UPS ON 2024 QB DESKTOP.  

CUSTOMER SERVICE SUCKS.

HELP!!!!!!!!!

These are not pop up windows that appear, they are in the webpages in the QBO system. And they are 99% of the time not to "guide users" but are to sell more intuit products. This is a completely unacceptable intrusion and disruption of productivity for paying customers. Add the ability to turn it off immediately.

I have been working on my bank transactions, and the pop up that I get suggesting that I chat with someone keeps coming up about every 2-3 transactions. I have hundreds to do each month, and this is getting ridiculous having to click "ask me later" which is the only alternative to "ask me more". How about a simple 'no' and stop the pop up. You can tell your developers that we are not going to buy any more/use any additional services just because you keep bugging us. In fact it is sending this customer in the opposite direction. I am not a happy camper about QB online. It's terrible, and we are currently researching other bookkeeping software to change to once taxes are done this year.

My issue with replacing Quickbooks is that I use it for more than just a tax reporting and tracking. I use it for billing, and sometimes, my billing cycle on a long project may extend over 2-3 years. Can't just stop in the middle of the project and start a new software program.

I think I am stuck with QB until I retire in a year or two. 

At least I have been able to warn other people I have mentored to not consider Quickbooks. 

I had to "chat" with the QB help desk this morning. I am not sure if I was dealing with a very limited Artificial Intelligence bot or a tech who could just follow his script, but it was a useless waste of time, problem still there. 

Asking this question makes me want to PROJECTILE PUKE, but...

Would it be possible to just pay Intuit's sickening rip off a**es an extra $1 per month to Shut The F**k Up?

It seems that Intuit has never listened to anyone for advice. Here I am doing invoicing, and on every invoice I create, I get the most frustrating request to use their payment systems. I have my own payment systems and do not want Intuit's. I have 400+ invoices, and I have to click "no" every time I access an invoice.

What kind of CEO allows their employees to mess up the productivity of their clients? Does the Intuit CEO even care about how their business works? Has he actually used the product? (I doubt it)

All I can think of is that if they spam 100,000 users of their product, they believe that even a small percentage will bite, which justifies their arrogant attitude with QuickBooks.  

I posted about this over a year ago, and Intuit listened, and things worked great. Then they decided (or some sales Manager trying to meet a quota) to turn the feature back on.

I think the issue is that no one at Intuit actually has worked in a small business or has a concept of how we operate. 

There support staff, if they are not simply a bot of artificial intelligence, are only capable of reading off a script. My latest issue is that since I started working from a new computer, I now am forced into a 2-step verification every time I log in. Their chat help response: After a week or so, the software will decide to let me work on this new computer with a simple log in. 

The ads are aggravating, but I think I have become so used to the various interruptions the software throws at me, I am immune. But every time I go to input my time, it defaults to last week, that is just stupid. It shows a software programmer who never punched a clock, never ran a small or large business. 

I recognize now the worst issue Quickbooks online has created: When I go to retire in a couple of years, I quit paying my monthly subscription. I no longer have access to my data. Two years later, IRS wants to audit me, what do I have to show them? I have no records. When I was operating off of Quickbooks Desktop 2014, it was my software, and I always had access to my data. 

Hi Schroeder,

Although I have not gotten rid of the annoying ads that still invade my work space from time to time, but I have a note on exporting data from QBO that may help you keep your data when you decide to stop the subscription. I use TurboTax to file taxes every year. Although being another Intuit product, they have not implemented a way to allow TurboTax to directly import data from QBO, so I have to use this method as a bridge. Hope this helps.

Thanks, I will need to look at doing that. Appreciate the suggestion!

...but you will not get everything.

To the QuickBooks team: well unfortunately, it either gives you an option of maybe later or find out more and you can't click on either one there is nowhere To put "no thanks". This is super annoying on the users end.
