Besides, It doesn't say, hit alt and the letter u. It just says u for u for update.

What you do is inform me of the risks and benefits of using or disabling this feature and leave it to me to decide if it makes sense in the manner in which I conduct my business. The below accurately reflects the attitude I find concerning with GWMicro these days. I have been using a computer since before GW Micro existed, I am well qualified to reach a decision on whether an auto update feature should be in my face every time I start a piece of software. That you believe you are better able to make such decisions on my behalf is a paternalistic attitude. You are also greatly understating the nuisance of dealing with this going off when one is mid-task and has already had to restart WE because it froze. When I am coding the last thing I need is something pulling my attention even further from the task at hand. It is not the length of time required, it is the break in flow that causes problems. I only wish that the stability problems I experience were caused by an app. Sadly, I ruled that out long ago. -Len On 9/6/2011 12:33 PM, Aaron Smith wrote: > On 9/6/2011 2:25 PM, Len Burns wrote: >> I usually have other priorities and time lines to deal with that do >> not involve GWMicro deciding it is time for me to update a dang app. > > FWIW, we have streamlined this process, at least for the apps that we > ship, so that, when prompted, you only need to press a Y, followed by > Alt-U (with the update dialog comes up), and that's it.
