Turn Off Automatic Updates.

Unintentional Upgrade?:
If you were upgraded unintentionally to a new major version of XrmToolkit, we apologize. Unfortunately the upgrade process is currently out of our control. Please vote for the following suggestion to change this behavior: Provide control over extension update process

Turning off automatic updates is done completely within Visual Studio as there is no functionality within XrmToolkit that performs automatic updates. To turn this off within Visual Studio you can try the following 2 methods:

  • Turn it off just for XrmToolkit
  • Turn it off globally for all extensions

Find the 'Extensions and Updates' page under the 'Environment' node:
