And another wrinkle is if you are on Windows or Mac. Sounds like the op is in Mac saying Applications folder. Windows has programs. On Mac you can’t open Turbo Tax without automatically checking for updates. In Windows you can bypass the updates if you turned off check for updates before. The first thing I do after I install Turbo Tax and do the first check for updates I then go to Online-Update Preferences and select Ask me first before updating.
