105Stops Claude Desktop from downloading and installing updates automatically. It is off by default, so Claude Desktop keeps itself updated. Turn it on only if your agency distributes Claude Desktop updates itself, and [lock](/docs/government/config/overview#locks) it if the levels below yours should not be able to turn updates back on.
105Stops Claude Desktop on macOS and Windows from downloading and installing updates automatically. It is off by default, so Claude Desktop keeps itself updated on those systems. Turn it on only if your agency distributes Claude Desktop updates itself, and [lock](/docs/government/config/overview#locks) it if the levels below yours should not be able to turn updates back on.

107Claude Desktop applies this setting once a member has signed in and the app has loaded their configuration from Claude for Government. With that configuration loaded, the app follows this setting even when it is off, so a `disableAutoUpdates` value in the device's configuration profile does not stop a signed-in member's app from updating. When the app starts without a signed-in member, for example on a newly deployed device or when a member has to sign in again because their session expired, it follows the profile value instead, if one is set. To make sure devices never update themselves, turn this setting on and also have your IT administrators set `disableAutoUpdates` in the profile, as described under [Automatic updates](/docs/government/deploy-desktop/configure#automatic-updates) on the Connect Claude Desktop to Claude for Government page.

109On Linux, apt installs Claude Desktop updates, and neither **Block automatic updates** nor `disableAutoUpdates` changes them. To keep Linux devices on the versions your agency distributes, follow the Linux steps under [Automatic updates](/docs/government/deploy-desktop/configure#automatic-updates).
