How To Disable Pycharm From Automatically Updating Python Interpreter On Startup

It seems that PyCharm always updates the connected Python interpreter on startup and also scans and updates all packages if needed. For me this means whenever I open PyCharm there

Solution 1:

You can manually update the package and change the interpreter settings by following either of the two ways:-

Method-1: you have to go to the edit configuration button situated at the topmost right screen of your pycharm window and after clicking on it select the interpreter you want from the list.

Method-2: Go to system settings (in Windows) or system preferences (in mac) and then select a project interpreter from the dropdown menu. From there, you can change interpreter settings as well as install packages from the '+' sign.

Solution 2:

From the official PyCharm help forum:

You need to update the cofiguration file at / with the following code

<application><componentname="UpdatesConfigurable"><optionname="CHECK_NEEDED"value="false" /></component></application>

Solution 3:

If you want choose and update the Python interpreter in use for your project only when you want, you can set the Project Interpreter to Virtualenv.

From the menu File -> Settings you should choose:

  • Project: name of the project
  • Project Interpreter
  • Add...from the icon: gear icon

On section Virtualenv Environment choose New environment and the version of Base Interpreter

Solution 4:

From the PyCharm help page:
