Please help us to help you; at least tell your operating system and LO version. Do you use some software updating system external to LibreOffice?

Silent auto update to 7.5.0.2

Hello, how can I completely disable the auto-update feature?? I’ve installed the stable version 7.3.7, which is offered on LO website.

Today morning again, icons on desktop suddenly changes to new ones and… 7.3.7.2 was updated to 7.5.0.2, again. No dialog, no confimation, no online update feature, nothing - it just happe…

Stop LO Updates Win10

For a number of versions now LO has been updating itself even though all options to do so are turned off. Once it updates it refuses to start even in safe mode and requires an Uninstall then reinstall to fix the issue. This last time it updated to 7.4.1.2 from 7.3.5.x.

It can’t.
Ask your internal team to do a better job. It should check what programs “help” keeping software up-to-date on your system, taking into account, how you installed LibreOffice (was it installed from an MSI installer downloaded from the official LibreOffice site? or from MS Store (and then MS will be the one who manages its store apps up-to-date, unless you configure it explicitly)? Maybe using winget? or Chocolatey?). Check antiviruses, but also tools like CCleaner, that also have such habit.
