Can I cancel autodesk 360 downloads

[Anonymous]

I don't use  autodesk 360 and I don't think I will in the near or distant future, but it automatically downloads updates, which slows my computer down while I am trying to work, very frustrating. Can I close auto update in this, or can I even remove it from my system?

Thanks in advance for any response.

Uninstall it: but that's not what installs updates, that's the other add-on 🙂
No "canceling" option.

You can disable Autodesk 360 in 2 locations, i have highlighted these below...

Option 1

Option 2

As you refer to updates, i wasnt sure if you meant the Autodesk Application Manager, if thst so, please follow these instructions...

Hi Pendean, Thanks again for your reply, no, I don't think it's Autodesk
Application Manager, as it is a dialogue box which always comes up
saying "Autodesk
360 update has successfully downloaded, click to install it" or words to
that effect. So it's definitely Autodesk 360, but I have never used it and
don't intend to. Thanks,

Bruceybee

Also keyword search "InfoCenterOff.msi" (I think).

Hi DuncanBrannan82,

Thanks very much for your suggestion, I tried the first one but in my
options, online tab, both boxes are unticked anyway, but the box on the
left is different to the one in your screenshot,it doesn't say 'enable
cloud storage' (as it shows in the attachment).

Kind regards,

Bruceybee

Try the following... http://microconceptstechnical.blogspot.co.uk/2013/12/how-to-remove-autodesk-360sync.html?m=1

Alternatively try this... http://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/How-to-...

If you aren't happy with those, simply uninstall Autodesk 360 from add/remove programs in control panel.

Hi DuncanBrannan82,

Thanks for more suggestions. I had a quick look at the first one but I'm
not too keen on messing about in Registry edit, so I've gone for the second
one right up to the final stage but can't restart my laptop until after
work tomorrow as I am in the process of doing a document and need to save
it on the works dongle, so I'll let you know how it goes.

Kind regards,

Bruceybee.

If it does, please mark this as an accepted solution so it may help others and provide kudos 🙂

Hi DuncanBrannan82 ,

I've done a restart and that seems to have cancelled the update
notification, so hopefully it will have cancelled automatic updates. Thanks
very much for your assistance.

Kind regards,

Bruceybee.
