The official Node.js distributions do not auto-upgrade. If you installed Node.js through a third-party application, that third-party application may be responsible for the automatic upgrading.

dsankarraj commented 2 years ago

I have installed it by using node-v14.14.0-x64.msi which i have downloaded from Nodejs official website.

In windows10 weekly once it is happening

nodejs_frequent_updation
dsankarraj commented 2 years ago

every time when it was auto upgraded i used to uninstall it and reinstall 14.14 version

tniessen commented 2 years ago

Maybe VS 2019 is updating it, assuming you enabled its Node.js components?

Node.js itself contains no logic for automatic upgrades and I have never heard of Windows 10 updating Node.js either.

dsankarraj commented 2 years ago

This same Vs2019 Nodejs work load concern was raised by my teammate also.

Today My IT support Team did some changes to stop auto updation of Node in windows 10. Let see whether it is working or not.

I will update you the same in the loop.

if the changes by local IT Team is not working then we will inspect further towards vs2019.

Thanks for the reply.

dsankarraj commented 2 years ago

What change have done by local IT Team was, Windows 10 should ask permission everytime to install if any update available for Node.

Let see whether it is working or not

Thanks for reporting back @dsankarraj!

dsankarraj commented 2 years ago

tniessen commented 2 years ago

It's interesting that, whatever is causing the update, is not using the most recent version of Node.js. I would expect the automatic update process to install the newest version, but 17.0.1 has been out for a while and there are newer 17.x releases. Maybe this tells us something about which distribution channel is being used?

dsankarraj commented 2 years ago

I too noticed it.

aloksuman007 commented 2 years ago

I am also facing the same problem, I installed node 10.16.0 and its auto upgraded to higher version. Till now I uninstall and install several times and same issue happening. Can anybosy let me know what to do in this case

bcanterbury commented 6 months ago

No one's got an answer for this? I'm going through the same thing.

tniessen commented 6 months ago

@bcanterbury Node.js is not updating itself, so you need to figure out what software on your system is updating Node.js. As you'll see in the discussion above, we have no way of knowing.

RedYetiDev commented 3 months ago

As mentioned, Node.js itself is not auto-upgrading, but a manager that is controlling the program. Please contact that source instead.

Thanks!
