9.5.x - Turn off automatic check for updates

bobrock678

I feel like I'm just missing the setting...

In our environment, most users do not have the ability to self-install updates to applications.

Is there a way in SQL Prompt 9.5.x to turn off the automatic "Check for Updates"?

Hi @bobrock678

Unfortunately, SQL Prompt doesn't currently offer a way to turn off the automatic check for new versions. For now, your best bet is likely to click 'Remind Me' and then select 'Skip this version', as this will stop the popup from appearing again until a new version is released.

Thanks,

Can you tell us the registry settings so we can set these ahead of time (i.e. at time of install) so the user doesn't see the popup?

Vote Up - I agree.  Red-gate used to have an option to not auto-check for updates that has been removed.  I am in an environment where checking for updates significantly slows down the SSMS and Visual Studio startup and would also like to disable.  Please provide a way to do so, either through the registry or UI. Thanks!
