My software always asks if I want to update and/or restart my computer now or later. Simple solution: Check your settings and adjust them accordingly .

I've never had Adobe decide for me when to update. As Nancy said, check your settings.

Are you sure it's not Microsoft Windows 10 or other software doing it?

I've never had Adobe's software force an update and it has never forced a restart either. Whatever happened on your system was either some mis-click on the part of the user or it was something else doing it that was mistaken for Adobe software.

Ya me neither, it has always asked to update and even if i choose to update right then it will tell me i must save and close whatever Adobe product im working in. Sounds like something in your settings needs to change.

Agreed. Also, no software will force you to restart your computer. You can always tell it to wait to a later time. It might bug you from time to time until you restart, but it won't force you to do it.

I beat such systems by using a second rate 'puter for internet and my good one NEVER goes online!

That may limit me in some ways - certain things insist on going online or they stop working. But I then hurl obscenities at them, and their arrogant programmers, and proceed with my preferred software that does not insult me by assuming their updates are more important than my work!

So how would you get any of the Adobe products on your computer in the first place if it is NEVER connected to the Internet?

Internet is required to install the software and required to be online at lest once in 30 days to verify it's license.

So, I'd guess you would be using pirated software on your good one? Wouldn't that be worse?

Hi Brad,

Sockratease doesn't subscribe to CC. He's on perpetual license so it's not essential that he be online. I've known a few old ACP's who worked that way too. In fact one guy didn't have any anti-virus on his work box. As shocking as this sees today he didn't need it 'cuz the PC was never online.
