      It says it’s going to update but instead of auto updating and restarting, it just downloads the installer and you have to execute it, set install location, give it admin rights etc.

        The worse version of this is when accepting the box for “Update now?” just opens their homepage in a browser and you have to manually locate and download the installer.

        This gets the program on my blacklist.

        i get this explanation and mostly agree, even though it uses the word “download” right in the pop up.

      I think it’s because we are used to software updating itself, not having to run the executable manually. I know it’s exactly the face I made when I first updated it lol
