How do you disable Matlab update notifications?

Answer 1

Hi Joe,

The only way to prevent these messages from appearing is by installing the MATLAB update. There is currently no option to disable these notifications.

Hi Joe,

Not sure if you're still interested, but I have added the following code to startup.m in the local toolbox directory and I think it may have worked for R2024b (although my testing has not been thorough):

setpref('MATLAB', 'UpdateCheck', 'off');

s = settings;

if hasGroup(s.matlab, "latestgr") == 0
   addGroup(s.matlab, "latestgr", Hidden=true);
end

if hasGroup(s.matlab.latestgr, "latestgrnotification") == 0
   addGroup(s.matlab.latestgr, "latestgrnotification", Hidden=false);
end

if hasSetting(s.matlab.latestgr.latestgrnotification, "dontshowagain") == 0
   addSetting(s.matlab.latestgr.latestgrnotification, "dontshowagain", Hidden=true);
end

s.matlab.latestgr.latestgrnotification.dontshowagain.InstallationValue = 1;

clear s ans;

I'm not sure the first line is doing anything but I have left it in anyway. Setting PersonalValue didn't work but InstallationValue seemed like it did.
