=== disable automatically check for updates ===When executed for the first time daily VLC will check to see if there is a newer version available online. If a new version is available it will notify the user with a large dialog box with an option to update. This can be annoying if it happens during a presentation or other inopportune time. Furthermore, the update option nearly always fails. There are users that would prefer VLC did not check for updates. There is no option to disable "check for updates" in the interface! A command line parameter can be used to disable the auto check for updates "feature." vlc.exe --no-qt-updates-notif --qt-updates-days=0The setting in also in the VLCRC File and can be changed: qt-updates-notif=0Windows command line parameters example C:\Programme\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe "--no-qt-privacy-ask" "--no-qt-updates-notif"
