I REALLY hate these ads popping up on my PC. How can turn them off?
If turning off all the updates/offers notifications in the Product Details tab of the welcome screen doesn't stop this annoying pop-up (as it didn't for me), here is the solution:
In Windows, click the Start button and select Control Panel
In Control Panel click Administrative Tools
In the right-hand pane double-click Task Scheduler (allow permission if asked)
In the left-hand pane select Task Scheduler Library
In the top middle pane you should see a list of scheduled events. Look for those related to Corel (in mine there are 'CorelUpdateHelperTask' and 'CorelUpdateHelperTaskCore')
Right-click on each and select 'Disable'.
That's it. Those annoying upgrade pop-ups will stop.
Note: I am using CorelDraw version X8 which is no longer eligible for any updates. If your version is still eligible, disabling these may prevent access to desired or necessary updates (or at least notifications that they are available).
Hope this was helpful.
I couldn't agree more... stop doing it period! It's an annoying thing I only expect to put up with on free spammy software.
Suggest you delete them and then restart your computer to flush them out.
It should be stopped. You will not sell stuff by annoying people.
Thanks for posting this.
I am willing to look at some ads, but Corel has been grabbing my eyeballs so frequently lately that I used this method to shut them off entirely.
Great job, Corel Corp!
GMann, thank you so very much. I was told to select messages in CD but that didn't work. I used same method for WinZip also.
Thanks, GMann!
