How to disable automatic agent update when opening a session

Situation

When opening new sessions, agents automatically update themselves:

It happens because bundled ACP agents are treated as managed components: auto-update is intended to keep them current without requiring manual installs.

Question

Can this feature be disabled?

Answer

Yes, it can be done via the IDE registry:

1. Open Help | Find Action, type Registry, and select Registry

2. Find and disable the following options:

   llm.chat.agent.acp.auto.update.enabled - asks before updating llm.chat.agent.acp.update.enabled - disables update checks entirely

3. Close and reopen an editor tab, or restart the IDE.
