How do I turn off automatic updates? I installed version 0.45.15, but it automatically updates to 0.45.17 and then to 0.46.8. Version 0.46 is unusable for me, so I’d like to stick with 0.45. If anyone could guide me, I’d appreciate it.

This should do
"update.enableWindowsBackgroundUpdates": false,
"update.mode": "none"

Thanks, this solved it!
but how do you work with the AI in 0.45? if i stick to 0.45 chats and composer doesn’t work anymore 
Hey, I think 0.45 should still work fine, although I’d always recommend upgrading. What issue are you seeing?
I posted a whole thread about it with over a thousand views and a sizeable amount of developers who share my sentiment, 0.46 is unusable for most of us but we aren’t receiving any attention or a timeline on when the bugs will be fixed and an option to change the default mode. How do I disable Agent mode by default? - Bug Reports - Cursor - Community Forum

Where does this get added?
That did not work for me and givers errors but it appears you can disable updating in settings here:
So far appears to be working after closing and reopening cursor.
- Open Cursor IDE.
- Press
Ctrl + Shift + P(orCmd + Shift + Pon Mac) to open the command palette. - Type
Preferences: Open Settings (JSON)and hit Enter. - Add the following lines into this JSON settings file:
"update.enableWindowsBackgroundUpdates": false,
"update.mode": "none"
- Save the file and restart Cursor IDE.
