Windows update notifications for Standalone installs
This is just to inform you of a recent change that happened as we move forwards with our bigger plans for smoother (automatic) updates on Windows. If you perform a new/clean “Standalone” install, then automatic update notifications will no longer be enabled by default. To enable them, you need to open Settings and go to “General -> Updates” and make sure that “Notify About Updates” is checked (you may also need to click “Show update settings” first to see that setting).
Standalone installs performed prior to snapshot 2254.3 should already have this enabled. So if you have been upgrading to the same standalone directory and receiving updates before, you will continue to do so. System wide or single user installs will always have update notifications enabled (irrespective of version) unless you intentionally disabled them.
