Guide to avoiding razor updates

Post by Stuck »

Been messing around with this today due to the latest razor update.

Razor appears to store some kind of a version hash in a registry key called "UpdateCheck" in "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Razor".

It stores it in an ridiculously large int, (which I originally mistook to be the unix time of your last update, albeit in an absurdly small unit of time).

You can alter this key and keep razor from updating at all. Personally I changed the 3rd and 4th digits to FF. (This seems to be right as it normally increases every update).

There's probably a better way of doing this that I'm not aware of. This is just what I've found.

Can you actually elaborate on this a little? I can't find the file to modify. And I'm tired of deleting razor to copy the old version in the updated one's place.

Yeah, I didn't notice that thread at the time of my posting, but I'm still curious what UpdateCheck actually is. At a glance it does look like a unix timestamp, but I don't think it is anymore.
