Everytime I close my purchased CorelDRAW X8 copy, I get a nagging advertisement screen telling me to upgrade.
How can I stop this nagging screen from appearing?
NB: It's illegal to sell products to Germany showing such nagging screens without explicit consent and without option to easily opt-out of such consent.

Unfortunately, this is different. I previously already disabled the "Corel Update Helper" tool. That tool is not the cause.
By running a debugging session I noticed that there is a tool called "MsMpEng.exe" that's pointing to the messages that appear:
Unfortuantely, that tool is part of "Windows Security", so I cannot disable it. But I will see if I can focus in on the process that's reaching out for these files.
Hopefully, a Windows Firewall setting will stop these messages from appearing. Or I may find a registry settings that's stopping these illegal attempts to advertise.
