Disable Qube updates for a specific qube

To do this from the Qubes Manager, is slightly unintuitive, but the process is:

  1. Go to Qube Settings for a qube
  2. Go to the Services tab
  3. Click the dropdown and select qubes-update-check
  4. Click the “+” to add the service
  5. Uncheck the checkbox of qubes-update-check

(update check will be disabled on next boot/reboot of the qube)

You can also do this for all qubes at once by going to:

  1. Qubes Global Settings
  2. Click on Disable checking for updates for all qubes
  3. Uncheck Check for qube updates by default
