How to I update Quicken if I don't use electronic banking downloading?

How does Quicken install new program updates if I am not using any of the electronic banking features like downloading transactions? Do I still use the Update button on the top menu? I don't see a way to specify program updates only.

@thealchemist And in not using transaction download your missing out on one of the most valuable features of Q.
- To identify when you've mis-input a transaction amount (because download didn't match with pre-input)
- To identify when there's been a forgotten (or, even fraudulent) transaction on your account(s)
- To make reconciling a breeze, because all of the transactions included as-of the statement date are already marked as "Cleared", so that all you have to do is to confirm the net $0 and click OK.
My last five years at my former bank employer, I was the Manager of (euphemistically) Audit Research & Development. A better description would be "Computer Fraud Investigations". And I've NEVER seen a situation where a Q download resulted in a financial loss to the Q user.
