We have a Visual Studio solution that has some projects inside. Some of these projects need to be on v110 (Visual Studio 2012), but we cannot update them at least for now.
Now that we use Visual Studio 2022, it keeps asking us when we open the program if we want to update to the version v143, which we do not and can cause some issues if someone missclicks and updates all the projects.
So I would like to ask if there's a way so that these repetitive pop-ups disappear.
Thank you very much in advance.

Ideally your code should never be tied to a particular version of an IDE. I'd suggest creating a new branch of your code and upgrade the projects to the latest versions. – Piers Myers Commented Apr 1 at 7:02

I am afraid not.
Looks like you have created C++ projects in Visual Studio 2012. If you don't want to upgrade all projects, you can select Cancel Button. The project doesn't get upgraded.
For projects created in Visual Studio 2010 and later, you can still use the project in the newer version of Visual Studio 2022. Just set your project properties to continue to target the older toolset.
Right-click on your project > Properties > General > Platform Toolset and select the older Platform Toolset.
If you don't have older MSVC installed in your machine, you can download from here: Visual Studio 2010 (VC++ 10.0) SP1 (no longer supported)
