Stop Kindle for PC from Auto-Updating

Can you stop Kindle for PC from Auto-Updating? I only want to update the program when I'm ready to do so.

Thank you.

There used to be methods to keep K4PC from updating but I vaguely remember none of them now work. I take it that you removed the checkmark from Tools => Options => General => Automatically install updates when they are available without asking me?

The storage/updates folder hack is the last I knew that worked. You need to install K4PC with network disabled and then run the hack.

Thank you, DNSB, I had planned on making sure the update automatic update was turned off but it never hurts to have a reminder to do it.

Thank you, ratinox, That is the file I remember using. I honestly don't remember making sure the network was disabled when running the hack but I'll definitely do that.

Does the .bat file need to be in the Kindle "updates" folder for it to be run and for it to work??
