Description:
In LibreOffice version 24.8.3.2 (x86_64) (also 25.2.1) on Windows 11, it is currently not possible to fully disable automatic updates. I have attempted the following steps without success:

Registry Modifications: I was unable to identify a reliable registry key that disables auto-updates. Any changes made had no effect.

Disabling the LibreOfficeMaintenance Service: Although I can stop and disable this Windows service, LibreOffice prompts the user to reactivate it on every launch, making this workaround ineffective.



Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install 24.8.3.2 with disabled Auto-Update 
2.Restart LibreOffice (sometimes it takes several tries)

Actual Results:
LibreOffice continuously enforces or reinstates auto-update functionality, with no effective way to opt out permanently.

Expected Results:
There should be a persistent method to disable automatic updates, either via GUI, registry, or configuration file.


Reproducible: Always
