How to disable notification about extension updates in Visual Studio 2010

Question

In Visual Studio 2010 you get automatic notifications about extension updates. I don't want to be notified of that. Is there a way to disable that feature?

Answer 1

Go to Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Extension Manager and uncheck "Automatically check for updates to installed extensions".

Answer 2

I think it will depend on each individual extension's setting. However, some extensions might not have the option for you to disable auto updates.

For instance, if you want to disable VSCommands 2010 extension auto updates, you can go to Tools -> Options -> VSCommands 2010 -> Other Settings -> uncheck Automatically check for updates to installed extensions.

Hope this helps.
