5 years ago I have made some changes to provide more options (3d, 1w, 2w, 4w, never) and changed the default to 1w. The default will probably require some discussion, but I am confident that no one wants to to see that prompt every two hours, which is the current default.

5 years ago @tiagobnobrega hi. it's because update detection feature is currently broken. Ref: #49
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. At the moment, the "update available" window appears at least once a day
Describe the solution you'd like Provide more options for update check frequency, including a never check option. Potentially also move the notification to an integrated system notification, or an alert within the main ao window. Alternatively, use existing package management systems. e.g. apt or snap.
Additional context $ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS Release: 18.04 Codename: bionic

Having this window pop up at least once every day, per device the user has AO installed on can quickly become annoying. There is no pressing need to have this application updated so often - the user should not badgered into
A workaround exists to disable update checks by running in developer mode:
if (!isDevMode) { setInterval(() => { update.autoUpdateCheck(); }, ms(config.get('updateCheckPeriod'))); } });
