Updates Annoy Me: How to Consolidate Program Update Proposals

  • Thread starter BicycleTree
  • Start date
In summary, some programs, like Adobe Acrobat, have annoying update proposals when starting up which can be disruptive when trying to view documents. All update proposals for programs should be consolidated into a single location and run when the user is not trying to use the program. It is recommended to turn off updates, but occasionally turn them on to ensure the latest version and patches are installed. Additionally, some free software may constantly ask for registration, which can be avoided by not registering due to the cost.

I hate how some programs, especially Adobe Acrobat, propose updates when you start them up. I do not care about updates when I start up Acrobat. I just care about looking at the document I want to look at. Update proposals for all programs need to be amalgamated into a single location and run when I'm _not_ trying to do anything else, such as open Acrobat.

You should turn all updates off, I also agree they are quite annoying, just be sure to turn them on from time to time to get the latest version and the installations of the patch..
