However, this is only suitable for apps that don't require network access to function.
If you really want to block updates for a particular program, you can use Windows Firewall to prevent it from getting online. If you must disable auto-update for an app like this, searching Google for specific instructions for that app is your best bet, since it varies so much. These are hacky workarounds that could stop working in the future, and it's safer to install the new versions anyway. In some cases, you can block the apps from updating by changing the permissions in their app data folders or through Command Prompt commands, but we wouldn't recommend this unless you absolutely have to. Because they receive updates regularly, their apps check for and install new versions when you launch the app. Unfortunately, many apps (such as Dropbox, Spotify, and Slack) don't have an easy toggle to disable updates.
