disable upgrade message at startup

Question

Running AI 25.4.8 with scripts for trace function. My script used to open AI, Trace, save and close. Stupid upgrade message at startup is now bringing whole process to screeching halt. Anyone know how to shut it off?  Also the check mark to disable it for 30 days is useless.

@davidn28560567 Adobe Illustrator, 25.4.8 is a very old version because the latest version of Adobe Illustrator is 2025 release, version 29.1.

'Stupid upgrade message at startup is now bringing whole process to screeching halt.' ... likely this may be in place to 'say, it's time to upgrade'

If you created the 'script' yourself, maybe try to modify your script to handle the unexpected interruption caused by the upgrade message?
