Time to update message

Yes there a more posts about this, but they are locked. But I want to tell my story.

 

I get a message in Photoshop (beta), with a brown background, 'Time to update' that I can't click away. It says to update, but I don't want to. I have updated before, but then Photoshop (beta) no longer worked on my old laptop (MacBookPro late 2013 MacOs 11.7.10). Therefore, I had to downgrade the update again.

 

So it would be handy if I no longer get the notification, because it bothers and takes up quite a bit of space. So I wish there would be an option to stop getting the notification.

 

I have had help from Adobe Help, he has helped me well with tips (turning off the settings in Creative Cloud and activation monitor certain apps and restarting Photoshop and the like), but alas, without a positive result.

 

I'm also using the regular version, 25.6.0. I can't update it, so the Beta has more options, which is why I prefer to use the Beta version (without the notification).

 

But I love using them both. Keep up the good work.

The purpose of Photoshop Beta is for users to find and report bugs to the Photoshop team so they can be fixed before being moved to the released version. Using an older version of Beta does not help the team, as those bugs may have been fixed in the following release.

 

If your computer does not meet the recommended system requirements or if you don't choose to upgrade, you can use the released version instead. The brown box with the "time to update" is only in the beta version.

 

If you choose to use an older version of Beta, you are stuck with the "Time to update" alert and will most likely lose functionality.
