go to Preferences -> Settings-User and add there: "update_check": false

How about you block Sublime Text's connection via firewall? Create a new rule. It worked for me.

Solution 4

For Sublime Text 3 Or Sublime 4 Latest Build - Build 4113 | BUILD 4121

GoTo Preferences -> Settings

and Add Below Line in Right Side Window Panel Of Sublime Text and Save It.

{
    "update_check": false,
}

Solution 5

Create a outbound rule in firewall for sublime_text.exe

If you really want to understand something, the best way is to try and explain it to someone else. That forces you to sort it out in your mind. And the more slow and dim-witted your pupil, the more you have to break things down into more and more simple ideas. And that's really the essence of programming. By the time you've sorted out a complicated idea into little steps that even a stupid machine can deal with, you've learned something about it yourself. —Douglas Adams

Whenever I open Sublime Text it throws a pop-up:

A new version of Sublime Text is available, download now?

How can I disable this check? My work blocks installing software updates.

  Can you still download the new versions from here? We're in the midst of a rapid release cycle, and bugs are being dealt with and new features added all the time, so I'd highly recommend staying up to date.

  Yeah there's a workaround but it's tedious so I'd rather update manually. My work whitelist what apps you can run as administrator, but the whitelist includes cmd!

The preferences setting appears to only work for paid versions. See github.com/SublimeTextIssues/Core/issues/1206 . The host file change works fine for me in 3126 (on Mint) though.

i added -> "update_check": false <- to the right side file. there are two files when you click settings. left side says : // Place your settings in the file "Packages/User/Preferences.sublime-settings", // which overrides the settings in here. .So i did and i think it works.
