How to disable auto OpenVPN client update on windows 10

Post by idowuoguns » Thu Jan 07, 2021 11:05 pm

Hello,

I would like to know how to disable automatic update on OpenVPN client running on windows 10. I have installed OpenVPN version 2.4.9, however I did noticed twice that this version automatically updated to version 2.5.0.

The first time I noticed this occurrence, I uninstalled the version 2.5.0 and I re-installed version 2.4.9. However couple of days after that, I noticed that version 2.4.9 has been updated to version 2.5.0 again.

I would like to retain version 2.4.9 at the present moment due to some reasons.

Has anyone experience this ?? Could anyone provide guide on how to disable this auto update feature ?

This is an Installation problem.

Openvpn does not have an auto-update feature on Windows.
