Not sure what you are seeing - or wanting - 
use the --> Tools --> Security List 
to view all your securities, 
and checkmark (or not) those you want to download quotes.Next - check the --> Edit --> Preferences --> Startup - 
for the - Download Transactions - upon Quicken startup

There are several ways Quicken can "automatically" update your security prices. Here is how to turn off each of them:

1) One Step Update (OSU) - In the OSU setup, un-check "Download quotes and investment information"

2) At startup - see @ps56k's instructions above

3) Every 15 minutes (Premier and up only I think)  go to Edit > Preferences > Investment transactions, un-check "Automatically update quotes every 15 minutes"

Security prices are also updated by your financial institution when you download transactions. I don't know of a way to turn this off by itself.

For some reason updating Quicken sometimes changes these settings.

If you want to see prices or account balances as of an earlier date, you can change the As of date in the account's Holdings view or in the Investing> Portfolio views.
