Disabling Updates:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Just Uncheck the Auto Updater option during the installation of the application.This will suppress the update of notepad ++.
- Deleting the updater folder under the Program Files(x86)\Notepad++ would make no difference, since the auto update option was already removed during installation,so the gpup.exe responsible for update will not trigger
- Auto updates can also be suppressed by changing a section in config.model.xml under the %ProgramFiles%\Notepad++
open this file and look for the following section
<GUIConfig name="noUpdate">no</GUIConfig>
- change the above mentioned section to
<GUIConfig name="noUpdate">yes</GUIConfig>
Suppressing the updates of Plugins
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Navigate to %AppData%\Notepad++\plugins\config folder
- Under this folder you would find the PluginManager.ini file
- Open this file. Its content would be like the following
