Constant Update Notifications

Yes, I know bug fixes are important. Yes, I want the latest features. Yes, I appreciate all Photoshop has to offer.

Just curious. Is anyone else irritated with constant notifications to update Photoshop? I suppose I have my updates set to manual and not auto. With any software manual updates can save you if a new release has major bugs or quietly removes a feature you use. I know there are ways to rollback. Plus depending on your internet these are usually really big downloads and can impact other things you are doing like video conferencing or file sharing in the cloud possibly without you knowing why. And then there is security. Not saying Adobe has any security issues but automatic or early adopters of any software are more vulnerable if something nefarious is initially undetected. And I think users are gettng more suspicious or worried about EULAs that might state something like, "By downloading our software you agree to our latest terms." (Not saying Adobe does that.)

It just feels like there are multiple updates every week and sometimes we update and IMMEDIATELY after updating there is another orange box saying we need to update again.

Wondering if this means there isn't enough testing of each version and as soon as a conflict pops up a minor, minor revision is pushed out and the assumption is all users won't notice because they use autoupdate.

Yes, it's not a super big problem. I can ignore updates for a while, but it just seems like a constant, annoying popup impacting the overall user experience with Photoshop. Maybe everyone is on autoupdate?

Maybe there could be another update option like weekly or monthly.

It sounds like you're using the beta, and an out of date beta is no use to anyone. The whole point of a beta is to report issues in the latest build.

 

You'll be better off just using the regular production version. There are no orange boxes there. If an update has been released you'll be notified once when you start up the machine, but that's it. You update when you want to and no one tells you to update if you don't.

 

But again, a beta is a different matter. It really has to be up to date to serve its purpose.

Thanks. I'll check. I use both the Beta and latest public build. Will keep an eye out to see.
