Disabling auto-checking for software updates for Garmin Express.

9887212 5 days ago

Hello, I am trying to package Garmin Express for use in a multi-user environment and I would like to disable the auto-checking for software updates for the Garmin client (not for Garmin devices, but for the Garmin client itself). By default, it checks for updates on every startup. See below:

I would like to disable this auto-check via any possible config file or registry key. Is there any idea from the Garmin Support Team that might assist in doing this? thank you!

Auto-check is a task within the Task Scheduler. See the attached image although take note that in my case I've already disabled the task. There are several ways to disable over a multi-user environment. By the way when the task runs it creates a small file at C:\ProgramData\Garmin\Logs\SelfUpdater. They can be deleted.
