195195Claude Desktop reads its update settings when it starts. If the app is already running on a device when you change the Config page setting or the profile, the change applies the next time the app starts. If you leave automatic updates on, [Restart deadline for updates](/docs/government/config/settings#restart-deadline-for-updates) on the Config page sets how long a user can put off the restart that installs a downloaded update.

197On Linux, apt installs Claude Desktop updates, and the app does not download or install its own. By default, installing the `claude-desktop` package adds Anthropic's apt repository, so `apt upgrade` installs new versions from `downloads.claude.ai`, and so do unattended upgrades on devices that have them turned on. The **Block automatic updates** setting and the `disableAutoUpdates` key do not change these updates.

199To keep Linux devices on the versions your agency distributes, add the line `CLAUDE_DESKTOP_ADD_REPO=false` to `/etc/default/claude-desktop`, and create that file if it does not exist. The package then does not add the repository when it installs or upgrades. On a device that already has the package, also delete `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/claude-desktop.list`.
