Auto update on by default? Bad idea, highly disruptive.

Creative cloud now has auto-update on by default. So coming in Monday morning, mid way through prodution and it's updated every app to the latest version that we haven't tested. All plug-ins and scripts need to be re-licensed and haven't been moved across anyway. Please have this off by default like it used to be, we can't be updating constantly in production. Thanks.

Ah interesting. Thanks for the quick response. I'm guessing it was the way things are set up on are machines, they must have been installed before the creative cloud app potentially. I've switched it off auto update now. Cheers,

@Conlan5FAB Thanks for reaching out. Did you experience auto-update on by default on your existing machine where Creative Cloud Dsktop is already installed? 

 

We have enabled auto-update by default only for users who don't have any creative app or Creative Cloud Desktop installed on their machine. It should not have any impact on Auto-update preferences for existing users who already have Creative Cloud Desktop app already installed.
