It can be challenging to navigate software and handle updates, especially for intricate programs like Adobe Illustrator. This blog post will offer guidance on disabling updates for Adobe Illustrator. This can be helpful if you prefer to manually update your software or if automatic updates are causing any issues.
Method 1: Using Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop App
The first method involves using the Adobe Creative Cloud desktop application. Here are the steps:
- Open your Adobe Creative Cloud desktop application.
- Navigate to All Apps.
- Find Adobe Illustrator and click on the three-dot menu next to it.
- In the drop-down menu, uncheck Auto-update.
Note: This procedure will only turn off automatic updates for Adobe Illustrator. If you have other Adobe software installed and you want to turn off their updates as well, you need to repeat the process for each software.
Method 2: Modifying Adobe Illustrator’s Settings
If you want to disable automatic updates directly from Illustrator, follow these steps:
- Open Adobe Illustrator.
- Go to Edit > Preferences > General.
- Uncheck the box that says Automatically Check for Updates.
Upon doing so, Adobe Illustrator will stop checking for updates automatically. However, you can still manually check for updates any time you please by heading to Help > Updates.
In Conclusion
Both methods are straightforward and effective. Having control over your Adobe Illustrator updates allows you to manage your software in a way that suits your work style and schedule. Keep in mind that while turning off automatic updates can save you from unexpected disruptions, it also means you have to remember to manually check for and install updates to keep your software up-to-date and secure.
