How To stop Automatic updates on Bluestacks

 Bluestacks is the best Android platform for Windows ever.. I can give you many proofs for that... But each thing comes with its Disadvantages too.. Biggest disadvantage of Blustacks is its updating utility.. Bluestacks requests an allowance for automatic download and updates of the applications. This in turn consumes much more data and reduces speed of internet. This is most uncomfortable thing for customers with limited data packs and limited speed, like Dongle. Also you can't uninstall downloading software or can't Stop it Forcefully... So, I have couple of trickx here that will definitely work...

Tricks:

1.   Use Launcher:

"Game-pop Home" is the software which responsible for all Automatic downloads. This software is nothing but a Launcher. That means, Bluestacks does not need to start any other application for Download and Update purpose... 

To get rid of this problem simply download and install a Third Party launcher and always start Bluestacks by Launching this Launcher only...

Note: 

Do not start Bluestack by clicking on Start Bluestacks icon. Just create a short-cut for your downloaded launcher on your desktop and launch Bluestacks by double clicking on that icon only.

     2.  Change G-Mail password:

As you have seen in any Google Android Operating System, Play store needs an access to your Google Account to download any App or to update it.... That's exactly where our trick lies at...

First of all, you have to confirm your Google Account and sync up with it to use Bluestacks. So, confirm it first, so that, Bluestacks will give you access of it.

Now, just go to your G-Mail account and simply change your password.

Here we go... Bluestacks will not download anything, because it will not have access to your Google Account, due to changed password...

Note:

Don't ever confirm your account on bluestacks after changing the password. No matter how many times it will request you for it.

If you want to install any App just download its .apk file and manually install it. Do not install from Play Store.

        3.  Stop Bluestacks update service:

Biggest problem to stop Bluestacks from consuming your data is its own updating service. As, Bluestacks app player launches at startup, it can update itself automatically without your permission.

Step1:    Go to 'Task Manager'.

Step2:    Open Services tab.

Step3:    Click on 'Services..' button.

Step4:    Now find 'BlueStacks Updater Service' from the list.

Step5:    Right click on it and open its properties.

Step6:   Select startup type as 'Disabled' and click apply.

    That's it..... BlueStacks will never dare to consume even a bit of data without your permission...
