Hey I have a general software question.

If I turn off auto-updates will I still be asked when I run that program and it is out of date or will it ignore it completely until I manually download it from their website. I'm wondering about the Windows auto-updates and any other software.

Sorry if this post is in the wrong place.
 
It entirely depends on the software.

Windows Update has several options:
- It will automatically search for updates, and automatically install them
- It will automatically search for updates, but ask whether you want them installed (I use this option).
- It will only search for updates when you tell it to, and ask whether you want them installed

Most other software, you usually have either the first and third of those options - sometimes the second. It'll either do it for you, or you have to do it manually.

Usually, if you turn off auto-updating then that means you've picked the third option.
