Is it possible tu turn off automatic firmware update by Connect App on the smartphone? I found this https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=ZKn5UHHyEF9J3MPROKwRj8

I have Edge 530manual but there is no info about such a possibility . I would like to have this because of the problems with device rebooting after installing the latest firmware version.

    Did you try using the "search" function before you wrote this post? Probably not. The topic has been raised many times and the solution has been given many times. A little invention

    OK, I used search function but did not find the answer. So I will search once again....

    Put empty file "GUPDATE.GCD" in the main folder of Edge.

    There is not an option to disable automatic updates.

    Yes, this method helps. But yesterday i connected my Edge to PC with Garmin Express active. And I forgot to verify Garmin folder when disconnecting Edge. And when Edge turned on it asked me If I want to install the latest firmware 9.50 Slight smile Of course I refused. I connected Edge to PC again and found in Garmin folder GUPDATE.GCD of about 20 MB. So Garmin Express has overwritten my empty file Slight smile Now I overwrote 9.50 file with my empty GUPDATE.GCD. And I still have the verified older firmware version which do not make my Edge restarting Slight smile And I have a question. Is it possible to make a software on PC (Windows 10), which  protects the empty GUPDATE.GCD from overwritting? Or after shutting down Garmin Express automatically overwrites its 9.50 file?
