How to disable auto update to v. 4.x.x
Hello, we have a program that uses Wireshark. It stopped working with Wireshark v. 4.x.x. We must keep it with the latest version before Wireshark 4.x.x.
The problem is that whenever we downgrade the Wireshark to v 3.6.9, the system upgrades it to the latest v 4.x.x. What to do? We changed gui.update.enabled to FALSE, but it continues updating it.
Can someone help?
Thank you.
Please add the output of
wireshark -v

to the question.Here it is:
(more)This has actually been happening to us for some time as well; however I create a custom Wireshark installer and thought maybe it was something stupid I was doing to cause this because I had never heard anyone else report this problem. Our custom installer actually checks for updates against the version of Wireshark on our own server, not against the latest off-the-shelf version and yet out of the blue, we will find that our custom version of Wireshark has been replaced with the latest off-the-shelf version. It's maddening.
It's almost certainly something else causing this to happen and not Wireshark itself, but what that something is, I have no idea.
Is it a mix of OS versions or just one particular release?
Shouldn't there be Windows events that could help to diagnose this?
I use Windows 11 workstation. I am not sure about other people, but I am sure that most of them have Windows 11 and very few people have Windows 10.
I am not sure what Windows event would tell me and how to find an event related to Wireshark update.
