However - it is to some extent our _responsibility_. You're suggesting that there are exactly two alternatives: 1. Manually allow an update, each time one is available. 2. Forego automatic updates Option (2.) is quite undesirable for the user, and for us (e.g. for reasons of security). And option (1.) is quite annoying. We are causing the annoyance, even if indirectly. Is there really no third option? Isn't it possible to: * White-list our updater for future execution? * Update, while avoiding the UAC alert? * Have our installer request privilege escalation, and install some kind of updater service (yes, I know, ugh) I'm pretty sure that at least the last one of those is possible... So, let's rephrase the bug to be about creating a third option for users not to be annoyed. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
