QuickBooks Utility Application Keeps Popping Up? Here's How to Stop It

QuickBooks may not be configured to operate with the correct administrator credentials or Windows User Account Control (UAC) settings may be the cause of the QuickBooks Utility Application repeatedly launching and requesting permission each time you launch the program. Although the purpose of this pop-up is to confirm permission for background operations, it might get bothersome if it keeps coming up. The QuickBooks shortcut can be stopped by right-clicking on it, selecting Properties > Compatibility, and selecting "Run this program as an administrator." Additionally, you can lessen the frequency of prompts without sacrificing security by changing your UAC settings to a less aggressive level.
