X8 upgrade popup

John Pritchett over 7 years ago

Does anyone know how I can block the X8 upgrade popup when I load my X4 program? It's very annoying.

There should be a box at the foot of the pop up that lets you stop further annoyances.

Can you post a screen capture of that dialog?

In older versions, usually flushing the message cache will fix these kinds of things...go to Help>Messages (or maybe it's Updates in X4) and it will force the software to refresh the content on your workstation.

I've been making this exact same complaint. Every time I launch X4. Even single time, it pops up an X8 ad. Corel obviously wants it to irritate you until you upgrade to X8. It's crazy because all it's doing is making me angry. I'm never going to upgrade to X8 or buy another single product from Corel. Who wants to look forward to dealing with this kind of crap forever.

I unchecked the box for "Notify me of available updates..." in Help\Updates\Settings. We will see what happens.

It is curious that this only happens in X4 and not X7 loaded on the same system.
