With the new Autodesk Access available since March 18, administrators now have more Users can install updates via Autodesk Access. We don’t want users attempting to install updates either because:
Autodesk Access is the new desktop application for installing product updates on Windows devices. This new application provides the ability for users to install their own updates, as long as they have install permissions. This application is built with administrator controls in mind, so if you want to prevent your users from installing updates from Access, you can do so. All users will still have Access available so that they can get information about updates that may impact them.
The following registry key will disable the “Update” button in Autodesk Access, as well as notifications about new updates for the users where it is applied.
If you use Group Policy in your company, you can distribute this key to multiple users via this process:
You can include the following command in any CMD-based user logon script you may have configured:
REG ADD HKCU\Software\Autodesk\ODIS /V DisableManualUpdateInstall /D 1 /T REG_DWORD
Any other system management tool that allows you to write registry keys should also work like the methods used above.
On March 15, 2023, Autodesk Access replaced Autodesk Desktop Application (ADA) to provide the foundational capability to ensure you receive the continuous benefits of new features and fixes, making managing product updates easier than ever.
Autodesk Access is just the first step in Autodesk’s plan to further develop the platform to provide you with greater control, easier access, and additional capabilities to achieve your desired outcomes.
Autodesk has heard from customers that product updates have been frustrating, and that the previous update system, ADA, didn’t meet their needs. Some customers didn’t want their users to install updates themselves. As a result, they uninstalled ADA altogether. Autodesk Access will make things easier for you, so changes are now implemented specifically for admins to address these issues.
Autodesk Access is built with trust, security, and admin controls in mind. Using the latest installation technology, it will deliver fast, reliable updates and offers many benefits, including:
Once Autodesk Access is installed, users will be able to install updates if they have administrator rights. A simple registry key will allow admins to disable a user’s ability to install updates, while also allowing users to see information about available updates.

You can get Autodesk Access in four ways starting March 15, 2023:
No, when Autodesk Access installs, it will uninstall ADA.
Yes! All customers will benefit from Autodesk Access. We have many plans for new features this year to make getting updates easier. For those customers that manage their own updates, we included admin controls to disable user’s ability to install updates. Users at large companies can benefit from Access by getting information about updates that may be available, even if they can’t install them.
All long-running services consume some resources. Autodesk Access, and specifically the Autodesk Access Core, consumes 34 MB of RAM and 0% CPU while idle. The only time it is not idle is during startup, and when it is installing an update, where it would consume some resources related to installations as expected.
Currently, Access is part of the Autodesk Installer and can’t be removed. Admin controls previously mentioned provide the ability for you to control your user’s ability to update products, and because it consumes a very small amount of resources, we believe that it is not necessary to remove it.
Our goal is to provide a great, transparent update experience. This is the first step in an exciting roadmap to give customers control and easy access to new product features. We will continue to build on the new Autodesk Access platform with capabilities to make updates easier and with the controls you are looking for.
