How to Disable Automatic Updates
I am trying to use Wireshark version 3.0.14 and cannot use the newer versions. I have disabled automatic updates by setting gui.update.enabled to FALSE but Wireshark still updates to 4.0.3.
Please add the output of
wireshark -vorHelp -> About Wireshark -> Copy to Clipboardcontents.I suspect this might be a duplicate of https://ask.wireshark.org/question/29... though, for which there is currently no solution, unfortunately, and something that has also plagued me for some time.
Here you go:

Yup, so you're also running on Windows. If/when you ever find an answer and resolution to this problem, I would love to know what it is too!
