There is only one way that has always worked (and still works) for all cases, both for MT4 and MT5!
That is to remove all access privileges to the directories where the updates are stored, be that for "Users", "Administrators" and "SYSTEM". Just don't touch the Ownership of the directories so that you can always go back to changing the permissions later.
Currently the primary directory is "%APPDATA%\MetaQuotes\WebInstall" (but it may change in the future).
To block updates to the tester agents, you can also protect the directory: "%APPDATA%\MetaQuotes\Tester\LiveUpdate"
