-== Preventing Automatic Updates
-
-In controlled environments such as companies or universities, you may not want to enable the auto-update mechanism because it interferes with deployment tools and policies. To address this issue, you can disable the auto-updater entirely. The following sections describe how to do so for different operating systems.
-
-=== Windows Environments
-
-Users can disable automatic updates by adding this line to the `[General]` section of their `owncloud.cfg` files:
-
-`owncloud.cfg` is usually located in: +
-`%AppData%\ownCloud\owncloud.cfg`
-
-[source,cfg]
-----
-skipUpdateCheck=true
-----
-
-Windows administrators have two methods for preventing automatic updates in Windows environments. The first method allows users to override the automatic update check mechanism. The second method, on the other hand, prevents any manual overrides.
-
-To prevent automatic updates, but allow manual overrides:
-
-.  Edit these Registry keys:
-
-[source]
-----
-a. (32-bit-Windows) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ownCloud\ownCloud
-b. (64-bit-Windows) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\ownCloud\ownCloud
-----
-
-[start=2]
-.  Add the key `skipUpdateCheck` (of type DWORD).
-.  Specify a value of `1` to the machine.
-
-To override this key manually, use the same value in `HKEY_CURRENT_USER`. To prevent automatic updates and disallow manual overrides, do the following:
-
-NOTE: This is the preferred method for controlling updater behavior through group policies.
-
-.  Edit this Registry key:
-
-[source]
-----
-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\ownCloud\ownCloud
-----
-
-[start=2]
-.  Add the key `skipUpdateCheck` (of type DWORD).
-.  Specify a value of `1` to the machine.
-
-NOTE: The key names of enterprise-branded Desktop Apps are set during the branding process using the Application Vendor and Application Name fields.
-
-Your key names look like this:
-
-[source]
-----
-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\myCompanyName\myAppName
-----
-
-=== macOS Environments
-
-In the macOS operating system, you can disable the automatic update mechanism by copying the file: +
-`owncloud.app/Contents/Resources/deny_autoupdate_com.owncloud.desktopclient.plist` to +
-`/Library/Preferences/com.owncloud.desktopclient.plist`
-
-=== Linux Environments
-
-Since the Linux Desktop App does not have automatic update functionality, there is no need to remove the automatic update check. However, if you want to disable automatic updates, edit your Desktop App configuration file: `$HOME/.config/ownCloud/owncloud.cfg`. Add this line to the `[General]` section:
-
-[source,cfg]
-----
-skipUpdateCheck=true
