Disable automatic updating of Intel ARC

[78bakalit]

If I install the graphics driver without the Arc software, it works. 
If the Internet is connected, Arc is simply installed automatically. 
If Arc is already installed, it will be updated, which I don't want. 
All updates are disabled on the computer, i.e. Windows 11 23H2.

I want the computer without any additional software, 
just the driver and decide for myself if I want to update it or not.

Hello 78bakalit,

Thank you for posting in Intel community Forum.

For me to further check this, please help provide the following details:

1. What is the model of your Graphics Controller?
2. Can you tell me the reason why you don't want to install the Arc Software?
3. Are you using a laptop? Can you provide the brand and model of your system?

If you have questions, please let us know. Thank you.

Best regards,

01. I have an i7-12700K.

02. I don't need the Arc software because Premiere Pro and the Media Encoder and 
Photoshop control the driver directly.

I only installed the driver, without any software, but when you plug in the internet, 
it downloads the Ark software. I want to decide for myself whether I want that or not.

03. I have a self-built system, i7-12700K and PRO Z690-A, desktop.

I install the computer and don't do any updates if everything is working fine, 
but when I update something always goes wrong. I want to keep the same software. 
I'll reinstall everything at a later date.

try clean unistalling the driver with the ddu program (in safe mode). check the box in the settings tab that prevents windows from searching for hardware drivers then uninstall and restart in normal mode, then download the driver of ur choice for ur card and choose custom installation instead of express, it will give u the option to install only the driver without the intel arc control,

Hello 78bakalit,

Thank you for for the update.

Let me just check, have you tried the recommendation of the other forum user on how to remove the application during installation?

If you have questions, please let us know. Thank you.
