Disable update check

0

Hello.

I am trying to disable the Wireshark update check. I notice that whenever Wireshark (running on Windows 7) starts, it updates the registry setting 'HKEY_Users/Wireshark/WinSparkle Settings/CheckForUpdates' to 1.

What setting should I use to disable the update check?

I am running Version 2.2.2 (v2.2.2-0-g775fb08) on Windows 7

Thank you.

In Wireshark, go Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced. Write "update" into the Search field, and at the gui.update.enabled line below, double-click the TRUE to change it to FALSE.
