Same instructions as found [here](https://forums.plex.tv/t/plex-htpc-feedback/703205) 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:

```auto
[debug]
disableUpdater=true

```
