GoTo turn off automatic updates

looking to have a parameter added to the GoTo app “GoToConnect (64-bit Machine-wide)” managed by ImmyBot to add registry edits to block so the app doesn’t check for automatic updates

per my testing the two places this goto articles shows worked for DWORD 2

Windows

Two methods are available for controlling automatic updates:

  1. Group Policy setting for controlling automatic updates - can be configured on the machine or user level. See here for more information.
  • The Group Policy writes registry setting AutomaticUpdates (DWORD) under HKLM or HKCU, Software\Policies\GoTo\GoToApplication.
  • AutomaticUpdates value of 1 means the policy is configured and updates are enabled.
  • AutomaticUpdates value of 2 means the policy is configured and updates are disabled.
  • Missing or unsupported AutomaticUpdates value means the policy is not configured.
  1. Registry setting in the app registry key - can be configured on the machine or user level.
  • The registry setting is AutomaticUpdates (DWORD) under HKLM or HKCU, Software\LogMeInInc\GoTo
  • AutomaticUpdates value of 1 means updates are enabled.
  • AutomaticUpdates value of 2 means updates are disabled.
  • Missing or unsupported AutomaticUpdates value means that updates are not controlled by this setting.
