Disable Automatic Updates Adobe

One of the annoying things about all Adobe Products is Adobe’s autotmatic update feature. I was today browsing the net on a slower network when I found that Adobe Automatic updater was downloading several MB’s of update files. While I like my adobe products to be updated, I would want that the program ask me first.
Anyhow to disable the automatic updates of any Adobe Product, be it Photoshop or Adobe Reader or any other you need to do the following:
- Go to C:Program FilesCommon FilesAdobeUpdater5
- Run AdobeUpdater.exe
- The program may check for available updates, let it finish. It will come to a screen where you will have a Button or link which says “Preferences“
- The Adobe Updater Preferences window will open.
- To disable Automatic updates of all Adobe programs installed on your computer untick “Automatically Check for Adobe Updates“
- You can alternately change the frequency of time after which the program checks for updates from “Every Week” to “Every Month“.
- Alternatively you can just untick any one program for which to disable Automatic updates from the list in the box below.
Hope this helps.
