You can disable the software update in the Preferences window.

That's clear. We are using a software deployment system, so we want to disable the update check with a script or modified setting file.

Did you follow the guidance in (https://trac.cyberduck.io/wiki/help/en/howto/preferences#Windows)?

Yes, see ticket text.
Make sure you include the attributes in the setting element as in <setting name="CdSettings" serializeAs="Xml">.

I don't get it and I am still at the beginning.

When I open Cyberduck.exe.config with Notepad++ I can see the following lines:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
  <configSections>
    <sectionGroup name="userSettings" type="System.Configuration.UserSettingsGroup, System, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089">
      <section name="Ch.Cyberduck.Properties.Settings" type="System.Configuration.ClientSettingsSection, System, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" allowExeDefinition="MachineToLocalUser" requirePermission="false" />
    </sectionGroup>
  </configSections>
</configuration>

I ask you to tell me the exactly lines that I have to add to disable the update checker.

Please. :-)

Currently it's not possible to override the user settings through a exe.configas we have the container setting CdSettingswhich is not being merged with the user's one.

As of version 4.8.4 non-admin users should not be able anymore to check for updates, i.e. the buttons and menu entries should be greyed out. As there is no 100% reliable way to detect if a user is an admin or not this might fail in certain environments. Then the only currently possible way to disable the update mechanism is to add the update.checksetting in the user.config file.
