How can I disable "There is an available update" popup in Visual Studio Code / Codium?

Question

How can I disable "There is an available update" popup in Visual Studio Code?

This updates are never mattering much - definitely not enough to interrupt work.

I anyway update everything as Linux packages, so there is no reason at all to do anything manually.

How can I stop this distracting popups?

Answer 1

set update.mode to none.

For VSCodium on Linux it is in ~/.config/VSCodium/User/config.json
