Click on Preferences in the dropdown menu. Check the box to the left of Automatic updates. In this article, we look at the ways you can prevent automatic app updates on a Mac. Depending on the macOS or older version, Mac OS X that you are running, there are other ways to disable automatic updates. For these, we've covered Mac OS X High Sierra, Sierra, El Capitan, Yosemite, Mavericks in the tip below — as they follow the same process — and older operating systems in another tip further down the article.
However, leave the following box enabled as this is crucial for security : Install system data files and security updates. These are known as background apps, or and with some they have launch agents that activate whenever a Mac is switched on.
