You did not disable the online update profile. Fix: In Advanced Setup (F5) → Update → Profiles. Set the Active profile to a custom profile where the Update server field is blank. Delete the default "My ESET" server from the list.
To ensure seamless offline updates in the future:
Open the main ESET program window and press to enter Advanced Setup . Navigate to Update > Profiles > Updates . Disable the "Choose automatically" toggle.
While ESET products typically update automatically every hour, certain environments require a different approach. Offline updates are essential for: Air-gapped systems
