Disable update notifications

Hello community,

I manage over 100+ workstations in a higher education environment. I use PDQ Deploy to push out software installs. Is there a way via PowerShell or command line to disable any notifications of updates? We don't give our end users local admin rights so any updates would need to be scripted. Google searching has not been my friend. Thanks in advance.

in the AppData folder of RStudio (normally in %USERPROFILE%\AppData\RStudio) there is a file rstudio_pref.json. Or in ~/.config/rstudio/ on (many) linux systems

You can add (via powershell or other means) "check_for_updates": false at the end (within the {}'s).

This should disable update checks.
It is not a fool-proof solution, users can still change that setting in their global options....
