Disabling Visual Studio Code update notification

Question

How can I permanently disable this update notification?

Answer 1

Go to File > Preferences > Settings (or hit Ctrl-,)

Here two files will open. One is "Default Settings" and other is "User Settings".

Add a new parameter in "User Settings"

"update.channel": "none"  

Then save the files, VS Code will ask you to restart, and then you won't receive the update message.

Update

update.channel is deprecated, use update.mode instead

"update.mode": "none"
