How to COMPLETELY DISABLE AUTOMATIC updates of Avast? Manual Update Doesn't Help

Two days ago Avast Premiuim Security started to update program to a newest version automatically during start of Windows 10. Manual update is selected in the settings, but despite of that it updates to a newest version. Tried to uninstall new version, then intalled older one - result the same. Is there a way to COMPLETELY DISABLE AUTOMATIC updates of program ? Thank you !

Same exact happened to me a few days ago except it broke my windoze system and I had to do a system restore before I could boot up my machine again. This was a total PIA >:(

I’ll keep looking back here to see if anyone comes up with a solution.
