Avoiding patches vs disabling update-notifications

This refers to the sublime-text-nightly AUR package. It is my understanding that we should disable update notifications, since they mean little to the end users as they have to wait for the packager to update the software anyway.
In this case the software is supplied as a precompiled tarball which will automatically, when started, call home and check for updates. This can be disabled in a system-wide or in a user specific configuration file. So the options are either to do nothing and for the user to find the option themselves if they wish and disable the update notification, or to patch the default configuration file when packaging to disable the update notifications.
Which is the recommended approach?

I don't have access to the source code, so removing it at that level isn't an option at all. Instead modifying the shipped configuration is exactly what's on the table.
Just to clear confusion, I'm not the AUR maintainer, this was 1. so I know what to suggest to the maintainer and 2. To know for the next time this happens. I have written a PKGBUILD which applies this patch and it's here: https://github.com/sakaru/PKGBUILD/blob … y/PKGBUILD
The build() function is:
build() {
# Patch the default Preferences package to disable update notifications
cd "${srcdir}/sublime_text_3/Packages"
unzip Default.sublime-package Preferences.sublime-settings
patch Preferences.sublime-settings < "${srcdir}/disable-update-notifications.patch"
zip Default.sublime-package Preferences.sublime-settings
rm Preferences.sublime-settings

Perhaps that's the best option

Disable update notification for Flash Player 15.x and newer

Dear all
We run a Citrix Environment (on Windows 2008 R2) and we have our monthly update window. Users complain that they get update notifications for Flash Player when a new version is available but they cannot install the update since they have no permissions to install or update any software on our locked down Citrix environment.We tried already all availabe guides regarding "disable update notification for Flash Player" but no guide seems to work with the latest Version 15.x.
Which registry key's oder files do we have to modify with what values to finally disable update notifications for Flash Player.
Thanks a lot for your help!

Please check out the System Administrator's Guide for a list of possible approaches:

How to disable update notifications for Power Query?

Is there a way to disable the notification of available updates for Power Query? Command line switch on install, anything?
Thanks!

it was included in the Power Query version released in September 2014. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Microsoft Power Query for Excel DisableUpdateNotification dword 1 will disable the update notification.

Disabled Update Notification Re-enabled Itself?

Acrobat 10 was deployed using a version that was customized with the customization wizard that had automatic update disabled several months ago. It was working and users were not notified of the last update to 10.1.3.
After updating to Flash 11.4, users starting getting Adobe Reader update notifications to update to 10.1.4.
Is there something in Flash 11.4 that would have re-enabled update notifications on Adobe Reader?
How can this be fixed?

Not sure exactly what you meant by export and send my HKLM bUpdater setting and send to where, but on all the PCs in my building the registry keys below are present:
For 32-bit
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\FeatureLockDown]
"bUpdater"=dword:00000000
For 64-bit
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\FeatureLockDown]
"bUpdater"=dword:00000000
All PCs have those registry keys regardless of whether they're getting the 64-bit client or 32-bit, but we mostly deploy the 64-bit client.
When I deploy adobe reader 10.1.4, customizing it like I have done with versions 8,9, and 10.0, as soon as my users login after the program finishes installing through group policy they're getting the update balloon.
I did see somewhere searching that you need to patch the .msi with the .msp file that is extracted from the .exe during setup and I can say I didn't do that before my roll out.
And I aplogive if my questions seem novice, but I've followed the same practive when deploying Adobe reader updates in the past and this is the first time I have come across any problems.

How can I disable update notification on games or apps

So every time i open clash of clans i get this update notification it reads Update is avalible!Good news! An new version of the game is availible.

Disabling automatic update notification

Hello, in the previous version, you could disable update notifications with mms.cfg, but this does not seem to work anymore. Is there another way to do it? It's not enough to disable it manually from the settings. I'm talking about the Windows version 10.1 that was just released.

Ok, I think I got this figured out.
Based on a forum user from here:
http://www.appdeploy.com/packages/detail.asp?id=1382
Under the notes section a user states:
When you created mms.cfg with disabled update, flash settings still show you that Auto-Update is turned on ( http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager05.htm l ). But accordance to Adobe guidelines, incoming trafic for updates will be disabled (it won't tell you about updates anymore).
However, if you want to remove check mark as well, you need to take settings.sol file from APPDATAFOLDER\Macromedia\Flash Player\macromedia.com\support\flashplayer\sys and spread it to each user in the same folder (with Active Setup for example). Now, not only technicaly, but also visualy update is turned off!

So apparently the Settings Manager page does not reflect the true settings if your mms.cfg file is correctly configured. The only way to test this is to run a packet analyzer and attempt to hit a page that uses flash: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/167/16701594.html
Testing auto-update notification settings
Administrators can verify the mms.cfg configuration has disabled auto-update by using a packet sniffer with the following test:
In mms.cfg, set AutoUpdateDisable=0 to allow auto-update. Verify that auto-update is enabled in Settings Manager.
Add the auto-update setting:
AutoUpdateInterval=0
With this setting, Flash Player requests the version file every time it starts and the request will appear in the network request traffic.
Open a web page with Flash content to start Flash Player. A simple page with a single piece of Flash content is best, to minimize the network traffic in the packet sniffer log. The packet sniffer will show the auto-update request traffic to http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/
Note: Avoid using www.macromedia.com as your test page, since the auto-update request will be lost in the other file requests.
Set the AutoUpdateDisable to 1 to disable auto-update notification.
Open a web page with Flash content to start Flash Player. There should be no version file request traffic.
I have tested this on a Win7x64 computer and analyzed the packets. No packets for http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/ were found. Let me know if anyone else can confirm this.
Thanks.

Disable Updates in PSE 11

I need to disable update notifications in PSE11. When I access the update Preferences, un-check all the boxes, and click OK and then re-enter via Preferences all the boxes are again checked.
This is on a PC with a locked-down configuration to prevent user changes and it reverts to the original configuration on every reboot. This means that the users are continually notified of the available updates.
Thanks for any help...

Yes, an icon appears in the Windows 7 notiifcation area that Adobe Application Manager has updates available. It doesn't specify the app but PSE is the only Adobe app installed on the PC (besides Reader).
When I open PSE and navigate to <Help> <Updates> <Preferences>, clear all the checkboxes, exit, then come right back, all the boxes are checked just like they were before I started.
PSE is starting in the Editor.
Thanks...

App update notification on top right corner: any way to disable?

Hi all!
Running Mountain Lion I get a notification at the top right of the screen every time an App update is available. There are two buttons Update and Details but no Dismiss, "Go Away", or Cancel. I've got dozens of Apps on my laptop and don't want to update every time I get a notification. I figured out that a two finger swipe on the notification sends it off the screen (thanks Apple really obvious that one!). The problem is that fifteen minutes later it's back again!
Is there any way of disabling App Store notifications without disabling all notifications? I can't see one.

Not sure if I still receive Update Notifications.

Hello,
My first problem was that I had two Updater Notifications in the Mac menu bar, the one from CC and the old one (showing a notification of an available Photoshop CC update.
To get rid of the old updater icon I did the following, which I found on the internet: "Rename Applications/Utilities/Adobe Creative Cloud/ACC/Creative Cloud.app temporarily, then you can open the old Updater and disable." I did that, though in the settings of the old updater I also disabled everything from "Show Updates from the following products" and disabled all apps. The old updater disappeared, but the Create Cloud App also doesn't show me the update for Photoshop anymore, saying I'm "up to date". Though before I did that there WAS an update for Photoshop, thus the two updater icons in the menu bar.
Now that the old updater icon is gone I cannot access the settings from the old updater anymore to again check showing the updates of all programs, and in the CC app I cannot find this setting. What should I do?
Thanks in advance!

PS: I'm on Mac OS X 10.10 and also tried reinstalling Creative Cloud.
Also, maybe my Photoshop really is up-to-date (though not sure then where the update notification before was coming from).
Where can I find the information on the latest version (version number etc) to compare with my version?
Thanks again in advance!

How to turn off the skype update notifications?

Anybody knows hot to stop the annoying skype update notifications?
There is no way I will do any upgrades, since skype has burned me in the past, so it would be nice to find out how to stop those...
Thanks

The Updater service does checks (and automatic updates) in the background. Disabling automatic updates in Tools -> Options stops this service, but does not disable it. You can disable the service via Start -> Run -> services.msc and finding the Skype Updater service.
You may also notice that everytime you start Skype there still remains a pop-up dialog box prompting you to install an update. This is because Skype had already downloaded a new version in the background and was waiting for you to install. This happened before you disabled the automatic updates and disabled the service.
To resolve go to Start -> Run -> c:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Local\Temp and look for SkypeSetup.exe. Delete this file. Exit Skype and re-launch it to verify this fixed the upgrade notifications.
I am still using Skype 6.9 due to the recent addition of ads. This process helps make sure I don't get upgraded unintentionally.

HT4314 Is there a way to disable GameCenter notifications?

I have never been fond of GameCenter, it always seemed pointless and half baked. After updating to iOS 7, however, what was once a mere irritation has become a loathing disdain. The notifications take up a third of the screen and are a complete eyesore.
I want to disable them by any means necessary, if I could delete GameCenter I would have by now.
Any help would be appreciated, I have already tinkered in settings and in GC itself and have found little if any actual customization to the entire application, it's an embarrassment considering how long GC has been around.

It will still ask me if I want to log in (I don't). After I tell it no a bunch of times, when opening a game it will show a popup window in the middle of the screen saying that there was a Game Center Authentication Error: "The requested operation has been cancelled or disabled by the user" - requiring me to hit OK to dismiss it.
If I do login, it will display a "Welcome Back!" banner at the top of the screen when I open a game.
I want them all gone. I have disabled all notifications for Gamecenter. I have moved Gamecenter into "Do Not Include" for notifications. I have enabled Restrictions, and disabled everything I could find related to Gamecenter.
To put it simply, I don't want banners taking up huge portions of the screen, or popup windows I have to close manually. If Notifications does not control them, what does?

No More Update notification?

is Update notification removed? update 35 something was last time i got Update notification, after first time i started to check from Help=about firefox, if i don't do that i don't know when the update is out cause there is no Update notification, or is the update made automatic? like it updates & when i close fox & open it again next time its new Ver?

''Sashoto Seeam [[#answer-720202|said]]''
<blockquote>
There are four types of update settings available in Firefox. They are:
* '''Automatically install updates''' (recommended: improved security): Firefox automatically downloads and installs found updates.
**'' Warn me if this will disable any of my add-ons'': If you wish to be prompted if the downloads will disable any installed add-ons, select that setting.
* '''Check for updates, but let me choose whether to install them''': Firefox lets you choose if you want to download and install updates. If you do not choose to do so, you can download them at a later time.
* '''Never check for updates''' (not recommended: security risk): Firefox will not check for updates.
To get these settings, from your ''Firefox menu button'' then click Options. Go to Advanced > Update. You can know more about it from here: [[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/advanced-panel-accessibility-browsing-network-upda#w_update-tab |All about updates]]
</blockquote>
thing is i have not changed setting, so it notified me before, & i think it was with automatic update on that gave me popup window about installation or restart (something like that), did they just removed it? cause i can see why some would not like it, it just gave me a feeling that something is off cause i haven't seen that popup for 3updated at least
my aromatic is on, so it should update silently so i don't notice what it updates & next day i open its just new version
