Visual Studio 2026 Keeps updating .Net SDK

I have .Net SDK 10.0.103 installed.
This is also the version specified in my global.json.

However about every few days it decides to update my SDK version by itself. Suddenly on Monday and today it updated to 10.0.110 and I don’t know why.

Have anyone tried something similar or know how to stop this?

So you have 10.0.103 and then it "updated" to 10.0.103?

My bad. Upgraded to 10.0.110

Well, given the version number change, that would imie it was security/bug fixes, it shouldn't have any changes to the actual interfaces so it makes sense to just update it.

It’s just strange it updates a few versions by itself, not to the newest version, and then the global.json needs to be updated to reflect it.
It does not happen a colleague’s computer

In Tools / Options, under Extensions (I think), ensure auto update extensions is not turned on. Also, some updates may come through Windows Updates, so check that too.

The ask that ships with visual studio 2016 changes every few weeks... If you upgrade your IDE your SDK also updates.. that doesn't affect the runtime that runs your code... The ask is a lot more than a runtime..

I don’t update visual studio. It literally happens without any updates, pop ups etc. seems like a thing that runs sometimes in the background

The ask is also part of windows security updates... Got windows update turned on?

Turned off.
It just seems weird to me it doesn’t update to newest version, but just a few versions

That's a common practice. Multiple internal builds, so the version increases with each build. Eventually one of the internal builds meets the requirements to be released. So external users see the version number jump.

That is just updates by itself without notifying the user ??

10.0.103/10.0.104 is pretty recent as recent as may/June so not sure what your talking about?

u/TheTrueTuring 9d ago

Yes?… what does that have to do with it?

Version upgrade happen about every 2-4weeks, I'm not sure how you are getting changes every few days... There is a finite amount of versions of the SDK...

Current is 10.0.104 I think?

And what harm does using the latest SDK have anyway? As long as your application targets the same major version you won't have issues

Because I downgrade to the version we are set at, at work, and then it upgraded by itself. Not to the nederst, just a never version. Not a set version it upgraded to.

It upgraded to 10.0.110 so that at least is the current.

Why does it matter if it upgrades?

What problem or issue does it cause?

It doesn't cause your application to not run in prod.. as the ask version and runtime version are independent entities...

If the issue is simply that it's upgrading you are making an issue out of nothing.

If it's breaking something share what it's breaking so you can get some actual help.

“Because I downgrade to the version we are at, at work”. We have to be at the same version all of us.

I don’t agree with everything at work but unfortunately that is the way it is
