Like other iOS devices, on macOS Sierra also has software automatic update feature, called Automatic Software Updates. When applying to the new version, this mode will help users to immediately experience those features, without having to check each application to update.
However, this feature brings a lot of trouble to users, especially those with limited memory capacity. And disabling the Automatic Software Updates feature on macOS Sierra is essential. If the reader still does not know how to turn off the auto update feature, please refer to this tutorial.
Step 1:
At the interface on the screen, we click on the App Store option at the top and then select Preferences .
Alternatively, you can click on the Apple icon in the left corner and select System Preferences .
Step 2:
In the System Preferences interface, search and click the App Store item.
Step 3:
In the interface below, we will skip the option to Download newly available updates in the background , to disable the Automatic Software Updates feature, not to allow automatic application updates.
Operation is very simple, isn't it ?! By changing this setting, your Mac will no longer automatically update applications and software when there is an Internet connection as before. Instead, we will receive a notification about the updated version of the applications installed on the device. Lastly, you just need to click on the application to update to the new version to proceed with the upgrade.
