Simpliest way to turn off auto update (auto-update)?

Recommended Posts

Hello, I think I have all the Reality-XP products. I haven't been using P3D recently. But, I've been getting almost daily updates.

I'm tired of updating almost everyday. How do I turn off auto-update?  Thank you.


Hardware: i7-8700k, GTX 1070-ti, 32GB ram, NVMe/SSD drives with lots of free space.
Software: latest Windows 10 Pro, P3Dv4.5+, FSX Steam, and lots of addons (100+ mostly Orbx stuff).

I see it almost everyday as a pop-up in the early mornings. Updates to GNS 'es and I think the 750 one also (been busy and haven't been using them for a couple of months). I'll do a screen cap the next time they show up and post it here). Thank you.

@Bert Pieke Good Morning! Here are the screen caps that popped up this morning (Feb 4). This has been what seems like a daily occurrence, and I don't know how to turn it off even after googling the web and searching this forum.

Hi,

The easiest is just running the RXP software installer, unselect any component (no need to reinstall RXP over for nothing), and uncheck the "Notify me of updates" in the last installer page!

Won't that still overwrite my existing installation or do I have to uncheck anything else?

The component selection tells the installer what simulator related files you'll be installing. For example selecting P3D5 or XP11 will install the files relevant to these (gauges,  add-ons.xml, plugin files, etc...). It will also install their dependent files (rxpGtnSim32.dll and rxpGtnSim64.dll for example). Unchecking the selected components won't remove these files though. Besides, the installer will never modify or delete your per-aircraft specific configurations.

I guess I am not understanding this whole "Run the installer and uncheck the notifications"  The notifications is on the very last page of the installer.  The first page you get is to install which version.  If I do not want to overwrite my existing installation would I not have to uncheck the version as well so that way when I get to the last page and uncheck notifications, it will not overwrite my current RXP version?

There is nothing more to read than:

  1. Run the installer
  2. Uncheck every "simulator" component (XP9, XP10, XP11, FS9, FSX .... P3D5)
  3. On the last page, uncheck "Subscribe to notifications"
  4. Proceed with "installation" (it won't install anything per-se)

And like I said, in doing so, it won't uninstall your existing simulator files.
