    when opening Proseries 2020

    When I try to open Proseries 2020, instead of the log on screen, it immediately goes to checking for updates before I log in.  Is this the new norm?

    Mine does this too, even when I have the Task Scheduler turned off.    

    I want to choose when I update, I dont want it to do it automatically at log in, so this is super annoying!.

    Yeah, that does seem annoying. 

    I haven't dealt with it yet, but I always get the Windows prompt for 'Do you want this program (ProSeries Updater) to do stuff to your computer?' and you can say "No".

    On the other hand, I also think it is annoying to log in, then update, then need to log in again.  That drives me crazy.

    thats the window I get, do you want the program to make changes....I figured this was it trying to initiate an update.
