:::note

Starting with AdGuard v7.17 for Windows, automatic updates are enabled by default when you install the application from MSI. We recommend that you disable updates for a user so that AdGuard for Windows is updated centrally. To do this, add the ForbidCheckUpdates=Yes key, which is located at the following path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adguard.
If you have installed AdGuard for Windows from an MSI file, AdGuard will not be updated automatically. To allow manual updates:

In older versions of AdGuard for Windows automatic updates are disabled by default. To allow updates for a user, set the value of the `AllowCheckUpdates` parameter for the `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Adguard` key to `YES` (case insensitive).
- in versions released after v7.16, delete the `ForbidCheckUpdates` parameter or set its value to `NO` (case-insensitive) in the registry under `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adguard`.

:::note
- in v7.16 and earlier versions, set to `YES` (case-insensitive) the `AllowCheckUpdates` parameter for the `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adguard` key on x86 OS or `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Adguard` key on x64 OS. Any other value or no value for this parameter will disable automatic updates.

Please note that such installation of the application and manual updates are not recommended and can cause technical problems.
