It REPEATEDLY does this, and after having been on the FREE version I then upgraded as I was saving a lot of material. Well bully for them! I don't give a damn. I too am using a Mac and I found the damned popups HUGELY annoying! I run a business and sometimes record Zoom meets, only to have Evernote TELLING me 'There's a New Update'. Evernote was using hundreds of MB of RAM, and I wasn't even using the program! While I was in there I noticed something very disturbing. In the mean time, I'm going to try using CNTRL/ALT/DELETE and task manager to see if I can stop the background process or startup service from running at all. It certainly should at least not interrupt what I'm doing. I would very much like options to either turn off automatic updating, or schedule it for certain times. I use my computer for music and video production. I believe they should implement an off button for updates like any other Mac app.Įxactly as wsequeira said. In such situations, I don't want to waste my precious mobile data bandwidth to update an app for reasons I didn't ask for. The reason I need auto-updating to stop is because I travel and work a lot and I depend on tethered mobile data for my WiFi. Everything works perfectly except this part. I am still testing Evernote before making a subscription and thinking of moving away from my previous note app. Auto-updating should not be a part of the new feature bundle? And that does not mean they can downgrade a user to the legacy version and make them forego all new features. Updating an app is under the user's control. While we want the new features presented, it is in no way under their privilege to forcefully push updates. But the question is, how do we stop auto updating on our Macs.

In conclusion, you must first uninstall the MAU 4.20 correctly and then install the new 4.22. With the same procedure, described above, I also updated Microsoft Edge to the latest version 81.0.416.72, a browser that was still stuck to version 80.0.xxx.xx. At this point I opened, one at a time, all the Microsoft Office apps and, through the option in the Update control menu, MAU 4.22 was opened and this automatically proceeded to update all the apps. Today I came up with the idea of uninstalling the old version MAU 4.20 first, using the “App Cleaner & Uninstaller” app in the Pro version, then also the MAU 4.22 (which as I said did not work), perhaps because they existed in the car 2 versions of MAU and, having done this, I downloaded from the link that you indicated in the post the new version of MAU 4.22 and with the installer I correctly installed it. In fact, even after correctly installing the version of MAU 4.22 I could never, trying every day, perform the updates of Microsoft Office 2016 and Microsoft Edge. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to get this fixed version to work normally either, but perhaps my system has just taken umbrage over updates for the moment.ĭear Howard, I have carefully read this post and all the comments you have received to date. Thanks for the team at Microsoft for such as rapid response. Microsoft has fixed this, in a new version of MAU which is available from the link above, and was released on 21 April. That may not be such a bad thing after all. In the normal cycle, Microsoft only updates MAU every month, so we may have to wait for resolution in late May. I have just forced the MAU app to quit (Command-Option-Escape) and left it to see what happens next. There doesn’t seem to be any resolution for that situation. In my case, my Office 365 subscription is paid through Apple’s App Store (I like the irony), although its updates are still delivered through MAU rather than using the regular App Store app, which has always struck me as being odd. Thanks to bucky for suggesting that those with a volume licence can simply uninstall MAU and run MacUpdater or use other solutions to obtain updates. However, neither re-installing version 4.22 nor installing the previous version have altered its behaviour here. You can download a fresh installer for MAU from this page. If you have any of the Office 365 apps installed, you may find it trying to run repeatedly at frequent intervals, when it reports no updates are available, or it may simply get stuck running in the background. There are widespread reports that Microsoft AutoUpdate (MAU) version 4.22, which was released on 14 April 2020, doesn’t run correctly.
