Thumbs up How to Disable Auto Update?

I'm doing a corporate install to both 32 bit and 64 bit machines. I've downloaded the Generic Corporate Installer (a zip) and read the Corporate Installer PDF.

However, I still don't know how to disable the auto-update feature. How do I do this?

Thank you!

Hi ngiven,

You'd have to disable the Windows Update to disable the auto-update feature.

Could I instead change the DisplayLinkUpdater.ini file?

Currently it has this in it:

Code:
CheckFrequency=7
Could I instead change it to:

Code:
CheckFrequency=7000
?

Thanks~!

Hi ngiven,

Before I'll be able to tell if it's going to work or not, I would need to know on what OS you're doing a corporate install.

Thanks

Have you actually experienced the corporate install auto-update or do you want to disable the auto-update before it happens?

We have not experienced the auto-update and we wanted to disable it before it happens.

We wanted to disable it because none of our users have admin rights on their machines and we didn't want to get any error messages during the update.

Furthermore, we didn't want an auto-update to break something else on our users machines.

We do the same thing with Windows Updates. We test ALL of them before pushing them out to our users.

Hi ngiven,

After consulting this matter with our engineers, I can confirm that Corporate install should not enable auto-update in any case hence you don't need to worry about it.
