How to disable KMPlayer checking for updates always at start up? I'm using version 3.9

It always pops up at startup. Even it's not a direct update, it's going to Cnet downloader when I click ok.

  1. Open regedit and navigate to

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\KMPlayer\KMP3.0\OptionArea

    and

    HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-4249885587-2716069232-2168524895-1001\Software\KMPlayer\KMP3.0\OptionArea

  2. Set AutoUpdate to 0

    AutoUpdate = dword:00000000 (0)

  1. Run Notepad as Administrator

  2. Go C:\windows\System32\drivers\etc

  3. Open File Hosts (it has no extention) by dragging it onto Notepad

  4. Add the following Lines:

    127.0.0.1  *.kmpmedia.net
127.0.0.1  *.pandora.tv
127.0.0.1  cdn.kmplayer.com

  5. Save File and you're done

In Windows open Control Panel and search for Change security settings it will open same windows as Internet Explorer Options Security tab: Select Restricted sites, click Sites and add there: *.kmpmedia.net *.pandora.tv cdn.kmplayer.com

These will disable Pandora TV, internet site on open. I think if you want to disable autoupdate feature, just add: *.kmplayer.com

Version 3.9 doesn't have this option anymore, but at least in version 3.2 you can

  1. hit F2 to open the Preferences
  2. Go to General -> When starting...
  3. Uncheck Check if new version is available

Blocking the connection of KMPlayer works.
But I am not sure what IP is used to check for updates, so I blocked any IP using Windows Firewall

  1. Control Panel » Windows Firewall
  2. On left » Advanced settings
  3. On left » Outbound Rules
  4. On right - New rule
  5. New Outbound Rule Wizard
  6. Rule Type - Custom - Next
  7. Program - This program path： - Browser - choose file KMPlayer.exe e.g.
    C:\The KMPlayer\KMPlayer.exe
    Next
  8. Protocol and Ports - Next
  9. Scope - Next (You can add an IP to the list if you know what IP is used by KMPlayer to check for updates)
  10. Action - Block the connection - Next
  11. Profile - Check all - Next
  12. Name - Type a name -Finish

Go back to 3.3 if possible, I decided to do that after I got sick of the new ad slider and other crap that Pandora packed in with the newest KMPlayer. 3.3 even works with Windows 8 64 bit, which I was worried that it would not work. I will not be upgrading it again since it sold out to Pandora!

Source: Me, I have a laptop with Windows 8.1 64 bit and personally experienced problems with 3.9 also crashing on occasion
