[Qgis-user] Disable QGIS auto update

[Andrea Giudiceandrea]

Hi all,
another user recently reported to this mailing list that their QGIS 
installation on a Windows system kept updating itself from 3.44 to 4.0 
against their will [1].

After various messages, it turned out that the issue was due to the fact 
that their "outsourced IT provider was updating it due to their cyber 
security protocol" [2].

Also recently, another user reported on gis.stackexchange the same issue 
[3] without giving further explanations.

Regards.

Andrea Giudiceandrea
