'Newer Version' notification pops up even though no newer version is available

Hi!

 

Lately, when running After Effects Beta, I've been getting the following notification, even though no newer update is available.

I tried emptying the AdobeTemp cache, but I'm still getting this notification.

This started with the most recent update (26.1.1 build 3, Windows). Is anyone else seeing the notification? Is there a way to make it stop until an actual update is available?

 

Thanks in advance for any helpful info.

I got the notification again this morning, but this time, there was actually an update!

 

So, the feature is working as intended, and all is good. Case closed! 😸

So far, today's update (26.1.1 build 27) appears to have fixed the problem! I'll follow up if the problem comes back, but for now, it looks good

 

Thanks, guys! 😸

Hi all,

Thank you for reporting this issue! We now have a ticket open to investigate why the banner continues to be shown.

Thanks for confirming this, Dan!

 

It's been making me a little nuts, too. At least now I know it's not only me. 😸

I've been getting the same message every time I open AE beta. If I go to the CC app, it tells me I'm up to date, so I've just been dismissing the message, but it is annoying.

Today, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the apps, but this made no difference. I still get the notification on launch. Not a critical issue, but really annoying, and it makes me wonder what else can be wrong that I haven't stumbled into yet. (I'm seeing potentially related problems between Adobe Character Animator Beta and Adobe Media Encoder Beta, which I've described in a separate post.)

Also, the same error occurs on a different computer I use, which leads me to believe this is a CC software-related issue, and not my local computer configuration.
