Alex_M Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 I'm now running the older 1.7.3 version of Photo due a bug in 1.8.2 (cursor teleports while resizing brushes). The problem is that every time I launch the program, I'm greeted with a window that says that there's an update available which gets a little irritating after the 20th time. Is there a way to disable/remove this message? At a quick glance in settings I couldn't see an option that disables it. Maybe I missed it or I disable it another way? Thanks in advance!

Alex_M Posted March 30, 2020 Author Share Posted March 30, 2020 Thanks, a lot, @walt.farrell , I'll give it a try! Do you think this can break anything if I restore the original value before updating/uninstalling etc.?

walt.farrell Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Probably not, but personally I'd just dismiss the popup.

firstdefence Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 It’s just an ON/OFF switch, so putting a one on the end basically turns "no update check" to ON/True.
