Give an option to check for recent updates manually. Saving a program on same build seat online, will not open on same build offline. Instant crash making offline seat unuseable in editing.

Assuming you mean software updates, then prior to 2019 R1, you could turn off the Help | Automatic Check for updates option (if you run as admin) to avoid automatic updates being made available.

From 2019 R1 and onwards, the updating is done by a separate Universal Updater utility. There is an admin setting in that tool to only report new updates, but not allow them to be installed.

Do these cover this request?
