Disable automatic updates [message #1791982] |

I'm looking to deploy Ecplise in a classroom type setting, ideally I'd like to turn off the automatic updates via a config file, I'm basically open to any mechanism other than expecting people to open up menus in the GUI to turn them off.
I've downloaded the zip of files from the website and the intention is to unzip the files to C:\Program Files. I noticed that the file "C:\Program FIles\eclipse\p2\org.eclipse.equinox.p2.engine\profileRegistry\epp.package.jee.profile\.data\.settings\org.eclipse.equinox.p2.ui.sdk.scheduler.prefs" gets created when the automatic updates through the GUI are turned off. This works fine when I run the program as administrator, but when it's run as a normal user (who doesn't have write access to this location) a new set of config files are created in C:\users\%username%\.eclipse that have updates enabled by default.
It's entirely possible that I'm going about this in the wrong way, but if anyone has any advice on how to turn off for all users that would be greatly appreciated.
Machines are running Windows 10 1803, and this is using the latest version of Eclipse (4.8.0)
