Disable the automatic program update

 Get Started: Disable the Update Check

Option 1: Individual User Control

This is the perfect way for an individual user to manage their own settings and get that desired performance boost.

  1. Open MindView and select the File tab.

  2. Choose Options from the menu on the left.

  3. Select Preferences.

  4. Scroll down to the Updates settings section.

  5. Change the “Check for program updates” value to “No.”

That's it! You'll now enjoy a super-fast MindView launch without the automatic check.


Option 2: Administrator-Level Control (For All Users)

For the system administrator, you have two powerful ways to implement this setting for everyone across your entire organization. This ensures consistency and saves everyone time!

A. During Installation (The Easiest Way!)

When you perform an administrative install, simply set this Windows installer property:

ENABLEUPDATECHECK=0

This single step implements the change for all future users.

B. Via the Windows Registry

If MindView is already installed, you can make a quick, powerful change using the Windows Registry, which is the central database for system and application settings.

  • To set this for all users on the machine, you can change the following setting (just make sure to replace the version number, like MindView 9.0, with the version you are currently using):

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MatchWare\MindView 9.0\AutoUpdate]

    “ProgramUpdateEnabled”=dword:00000000

    Or you can set the registry setting below to disable the update checker for the user (replace Mindview9.0 with the used version if different) :

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\MatchWare\MindView 9.0\AutoUpdate]

    “ProgramUpdateEnabled”=dword:00000000
