Disabling the Automatic Update Prompt

Prevent AQT One from prompting for updates by configuring a Windows registry policy.

Table of Content

AQT One periodically checks for updates and prompts users when a new version is available. If you prefer to manage updates centrally or want to prevent this prompt from appearing, you can disable it via a registry key.

Steps

  1. Open the Registry Editor (regedit).

  2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cardett\Policy.

  3. If the folders don’t exist yet, right-click and choose New > Key to create Cardett under Software, then Policy under Cardett.

  4. Right-click in the Policy folder and choose New > DWORD (32-bit) Value.

  5. Name it DisableAutoUpdate and set the value to 1.

To re-enable the update prompt, set the value back to 0 or delete the key.

Deploying via Group Policy

This registry key can also be deployed centrally via Group Policy if you are packaging AQT for your users. This is useful for organisations that want to control when updates are rolled out across their environment.
