Please give HKLM key to disable auto updates instead of a setting in user profile under .zip file. Plain ridiculous logic for mass corporate deployment when Microsoft SCCM uses system account to install software

RE: disable auto updates for system

I added the ACCEPT_EULA and DISABLE_UPDATE_NOTIFICATION in my command string using SCCM to deploy the software and it seems to work:

msiexec /i "PBIDesktop_x64.msi" ACCEPT_EULA=1 DISABLE_UPDATE_NOTIFICATION=1 /qb

They should simply add it to update via WSUS. https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/10399626-power-bi-desktop-auto-update?page=3&per_page=20

I was running version 2.41.4581.361, added the DisableUpdateNotification reg key as provided by Nicolas and it still prompted me to update.

If you want to disable updates, go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Power BI Desktop
create a new REG_DWORD : DisableUpdateNotification
and set the value to : 1
enjoy :-)

RE: disable auto updates for system

How can MS developers and product managers not have corporate software management in mind when developing a new desktop application! Did MS assign all novices to the project or what?

Either that or a command line option similar to ACCEPT_EULA
