How to stop update prompt?

We got these every time we opened PHPStorm when we were on 8 and 9, and we finally decided to upgrade (and it only imported about a third of our settings), and we're not ready to upgrade right now, but we keep getting this prompt that will not stop no matter what we click.

It can take time and effort to upgrade that we may not want to spend or need to do.

Hi there,

If you click on it (the link in popup) you should see big dialog screen with "Ignore this update" option.

Other than that: "Settings/Preferences | Appearance & Behaviour | System Settings | Updates" -- you can change settings there (e.g. disable such checks altogether). Please note: if you disable checking for updates then there will be no automatic updates for plugins either.

[Edit: The IDE seems to ignore this and notify you of future updates anyway]

I know this is old, but it's the first google result. Here's how to disable all future update prompts.

  1. Click on either "Update" on the prompt or the message on the bottom of the screen.
  2. Click "Configure Updates" above the "Remind Me Later" button.
  3. Uncheck the "Check for IDE Updates" box, then click OK

This is the same for all intellij IDEs I've tried. On Rider, there was not the pop up and I had to click on the bottom message. But it was the same past that.

Pictures showing the process:
