Substance Painter updates with Auto Update disabled

I have Adobe Substance 3D Painter installed and on version 8.3.0. I have auto updates disabled in Adobe CC but Painter keeps updating to 8.3.1 which I can't use as my project needs the previous version. 

I get no warning or option not to update, it's just done it without me knowing sometimes causing me to create projects in the newer version which then can't be used by anyone else on the team. 

I saw that there is an auto update option in Painters setting but that does not exist for me and maybe it has been removed. 

I am out of ideas about what to do.

Hi @Ed30369153bvbr,

 

and thanks for your patience.

 

Is the issue only appearing with Substance 3D Painter or also other apps from the Creative Cloud? As a 3D artist, I can only advise you to make sure the Substance 3D Painter app is not in the Auto-Update list (Preferences>App), which you apparently already did.

 

Therefore, I'll move this conversation to the Download & Install community where my colleagues will give you a better help than I would.

 

Have a nice day.
