I basically went back to using Vegas 19 Build 550 that is stable for both editing and rendering after trying to live with V20 (214). However, I get the update notice with this build. Is there a way to disable it?
Usually such things are in the settings. Have you ever tried to uncheck the news feeds?
Just remove or rename the file "install.cfg" from the Vegas Pro installation folder.....
Just deleting the update URL in that file with notepad seems to have worked.
Glad you got it sorted :)
Yes, that worked (renaming install.cfg) - Thank you... V19(550) no longer prompts to update.
Yesterday, I did an edit with four stacked video tracks (see image below) and had no issues editing or rendering (several times) with Vegas Pro 19 (*550), but it froze when I tried to render it with V20 (214). While V20 has some additional features it seems a step back in stability (for some users).
* Vegas 19 had subsequent updates to what I refer to as beta 20 (636, 643).
Worked for me too. But I noticed an issue. Renaming the cfg file causes the help menu option "Deactivate the software on this PC" to not work. Doing it the way @RogerS suggests solved that problem. Might also avoid a problem down the road when Vegas tries to call home for a license check.
Altering the install.cfg file is not recommended and could break other features within VEGAS.
After the feedback (thanks), I deleted the update URL listed in install.cfg (instead of renaming the file) and retagged the "solution" to this post. It successfully eliminated the update available message at startup.
