Is there any way to disable updates?  My work computer does not allow me to update on the internet and it isn't a problem on that computer, so would just like to disable updates.

I receive a prompt to install updates when I first open the program, but would like to bypass if possible.

menu - help - update sources - deactiviate.... (maybe different, mine is in german)

checking the menus is helpful.

My English version shows  Help - Update Sources -Disable Automatic Update (not recommended).

I have that checked, but I still get a pop up reminder asking if I want to update every time MC is started.

I have resorted to a program I have that will automatically click the "Cancel" button on that popup.

What version are you using?

What version are you using?

32.0.20  I know there are newer versions out.  My current version works fine and I see nothing added/changed/fixed that I need or want. 

I usually only update any program when there is a reason for me to.  Back in the MediaJukebox days, I'd install every version the moment JRiver released it.  Now with my PC running my house, I can't afford the risk of downtime to install newer versions unless there is something I need in the newer versions.

Update problems are very rare and are quickly fixed.  Even on the beta board.

Hi Striker,

I think if the program had checked for updates before you checked the 'Disable Automatic Update' option, it remembers that an update is available from before. I would run the found update and then as long as the 'Disable Automatic Update' is checked going forward, it should work as expected. I have my main home server setup this way as well for the same reason. I run the beta builds at my desktop for testing and maintaining our libraries.
