Topic: How to disable checking for updates?

I'd like to disable checking for updates online for data privacy reasons and because I find these popups annoying.
However, I can't find that option anymore, at least not where it used to be in SVP3...
Any help appreciated! smile

Re: How to disable checking for updates?

well, at this stage every update is critical

it's like Windows 10 big_smile


> data privacy

What is this? hmm

What I already know just from your post here:
- your IP, email
- your full name, address and phone number
- your VAT ID
- ... everything wink

Thanks for the quick answer!!! smile

I change my IP adress periodically (as you can see), I use several eMail adresses, and you don't know my phone number.  smile
And as you surely know, Windows 10 updates caused and still cause a lot of trouble, so no need to follow that direction!

So there are no plans to bring back the update-disable-option?

and now when all planned Windows 10 features are here and stable enough, they can finally allow users to turn this off wink

we can discuss an option for turning off those "annoying popups"
if you could tell why they are so "annoying"

Because they pop up!

Sounds silly but I mean it! Have you ever had a presentation in front of a large group that got interrupted by popups and auto updates?
I used to have a firewall, a virus scanner, a few hardware observation tools, the windows security center of course and a few different other programs including MS Office, and all of those of course NEED to have pop ups again and again. Since I got rid of all those, work has become much more concentrated and effective!

so just DO update it big_smile
this's the purpose of "annoying popups" - to force user to do something important
because, you know, users are dumb big_smile

but, ok, "I hear you"
