Player Version#: 1.25.1.3195-ac0c4d5e9

On a Windows 10 computer, When an update is available. How do I stop the client for prompting to update when launched, and it updating itself?

We want to install those updated manually and not get prompted that there is an update.

thank you.

Same instructions as found here but accounting for Plex for Windows vs. HTPC.

  • Exit Plex for Windows/Mac
  • Open the correct file:
    • Windows: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Plex\plex.ini
    • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Plex/plex.ini
  • Find the [debug] section - add one if one does not exist
  • Add disableUpdater=true directly under the [debug] header
  • Save your changes

Example:

[debug]
disableUpdater=true
