Whenever I open Sublime Text it throws a pop-up:

A new version of Sublime Text is available, download now?

How can I disable this check? My work blocks installing software updates.

  • Can you still download the new versions from [here](https://sublimetext.com/3dev)? We're in the midst of a rapid release cycle, and bugs are being dealt with and new features added all the time, so I'd **highly** recommend staying up to date. – MattDMo Feb 08 '16 at 17:35
  • Yeah there's a workaround but it's tedious so I'd rather update manually. My work whitelist what apps you can run as administrator, but the whitelist includes cmd! – Colonel Panic Feb 08 '16 at 17:37
  • Unregistered versions cannot disable update check. – Shayan Amani Jul 16 '19 at 18:57

Go to Preferences -> Settings-User and add there: "update_check": false

EDIT :

If it's not working then add this line 127.0.0.1 www.sublimetext.com in your host file

File Location

Windows : c:/windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts

Linux : /etc/hosts

    Not for me it isn't. – 8bitjunkie May 14 '18 at 12:14
  • i added -> "update_check": false <- to the right side file. there are two files when you click settings. left side says : // Place your settings in the file "Packages/User/Preferences.sublime-settings", // which overrides the settings in here. .So i did and i think it works. – EFE Mar 14 '19 at 09:39

How about you block Sublime Text's connection via firewall? Create a new rule. It worked for me.

Some linux distros are update intensive, others fall behind. And this nag is really annoying.

I've disabled the update nag by blocking the entire Sublime domain, thus the app can't check the latest version, thus no update nag.

Just add the line below to the hosts file:

127.0.0.1 www.sublimetext.com

Windows: C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\Etc\hosts

Mac/Linux: /etc/hosts

Note: Remember that you (or any other app) won't be able to access the Sublime website while this line is in the hosts file.

Create a outbound rule in firewall for sublime_text.exe
