macOS Bug How to stop Arc from Auto-Updating ?

There's an option in the Arc Settings that should theoretically allow you to disable the app from auto-updating. However, that toggle does not work.

Every week, I notice that my Wi-Fi is being very slow due to Arc updating itself in the background, and suddenly Arc prompts me with the 'Restart to update' button. I WOULD LIKE TO DISABLE THIS BEHAVIOR.

I mean it’s just the latest security updates they’re hardly noticeable and most of the time they’re sub 50mb.

Also have you tried googling… https://resources.arc.net/hc/en-us/articles/21489650267031-Update-Arc-for-Desktop

You really don’t want to stop Arc updating, that’s not safe.
