Intuit started rolling-out Maintenance Releases for the QuickBooks Desktop Product line and is pushing them out under auto-updates this week, so if you have automatic updates turned on, QuickBooks may be prompting you to install the download in the near future.
That means if you don't want to install it, you must turn off auto-updates now. And, if you cannot wait to install it until you get the auto-update, you can manually download the update from the Official Intuit QuickBooks Downloads and Updates Webpage (product/version specific).

About Updating
I'm wondering if you will have any choice. I logged into my QuickBooks Enterprise 2023 this morning, and after about three to four minutes, I received a message saying my QuickBooks was now up-to-date. When I checked the product information, it had updated from R4 to R5 without even asking. It never even asked if I wanted to install an update.
Makes me wonder if auto updates now is auto install?
