Disabling automatic updates does not disable notification messages #12868

Open stevesutton-hds opened 2 months ago

stevesutton-hds commented 2 months ago

Is there an existing issue for this?

Describe the Issue

I have disabled automatic updates in the settings, but whenver I start postman, it will wait a few seconds (often until I start to type something), and then pop up a notification that there is an update available.

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Start Postman
  2. Wait for a few seconds.

Expected behaviour: I can use postman normally.

Actual behaviour: A popup window appears, steals focus, and steals characters I am typing. Note, this behaviour occurs even if automatic updates are disabled.

Operating System

Postman Version

Postman Platform

Postman App

User Account Type

Signed In User

Additional Context?

Note: This doesn't even happen once per day, it happens every time the app is started. This is bordering on making it untenable to use postman.

If you rename or delete %LOCALAPPDATA%\Postman\Update.exe, the nag stops.

That sounds like a good hack-around, thanks, but I'd prefer a solution with a proper user interface, so that it can be turned on/off, as I suspect that this hack would permanently disable updates?
