Hello,
Being generally quite resourceful with a computer, I usually post only as a last resort... but 'im unable to find a solution to my problem. I guess I'm the only one in this situation.
I explain: I have been using the GIMP software to edit images of all kinds for a few years now, and for a few months, the official version 2.10 has been released. However, I find this version awful, and not only from an aesthetic point of view (otherwise I would go with it), but also functional. For example, I can no longer copy and paste an image from the clipboard into my layers, resizing an image changes its color, etc...
I've obviously reverted immediatly to version 2.8.22, which perfectly satisfies my needs, and that should be the end of my story, but... GIMP felt obliged to integrate an automatic update in its software. So at every startup, i have to uninstall the current version of gimp, and reinstall the version 2.8.22. which is quite boring in the end...
At the moment, I have tried different solutions:
1. Look in the app settings.... obviously, there was nothing (Thanks GIMP)
2. Searching the entirely registry from... nothing to disable updates either
3. Search in all subfolders stamped GIMP to look for an Updater... nothing
4. Search among programs that run at startup... nothing either
5. Blocking access to sourceforge.net/projects/gimp and gimp.sourceforge.net in the host file, where the updates seem to come from... but it didn't work either.
If someone has a solution to prevent the auto update, I confess that it will definitely help me, because I do not know what to do anymore.
My apologize, GIMP, i just found the solution and it was not your fault.
My antivirus (VIPRE) was automatically looking for installed software updates, and systematically installed the new version, without prompt or anything.
Post Resolved!
