Disable Automatic App Updates
Ninite can disable the built-in automatic update features of some applications. This is an experimental feature.
It works via the /disableautoupdate switch and currently supports these apps:
- Acrobat
- Reader
- Flash
- Flash (IE)
- Firefox
- Java
- Skype
- iTunes *
- QuickTime *
- Chrome
- Opera
* iTunes update and Apple Software Update will be disabled. The QuickTime update check cannot be turned off.
Other applications are unaffected by this switch.
Here's an example command:
NiniteOne.exe /select Chrome Flash /disableautoupdate
It installs Chrome and Flash with their built-in auto-update mechanisms disabled. You can then fully manage the software updates with Ninite.
