CIS daily pops up letting me know that no updates were found. There appears to be no way to stop this and it is very frustrating.
A. THE BUG/ISSUE:
- What you did:
CIS is set to check for updates once per day. I did not change that configuration. - What actually happened or you actually saw:
About once per day I receive a window which pops up [Mod edit: and grabs focus] saying that CIS checked for updates and none were found. It then has a close button, but has a 15 second countdown until the window will close itself. - What you expected to happen or see:
I expected that it would check for updates and not show me a popup window unless new updates were found. I cannot believe that this is intended functionality as this window steals attention away from whatever you are doing and is thus very annoying behavior. - How you tried to fix it & what happened:
NA - If a software compatibility problem have you tried the compatibility fixes (link in format)?:
NA - Details & exact version of any software (except CIS) involved (with download link unless malware):
NA - Whether you can make the problem happen again, and if so precise steps to make it happen:
As stated above this behavior will appear every time CIS automatically checks for an update and does not find one. - Any other information (eg your guess regarding the cause, with reasons):
I’m assuming the code is supposed to only make the window appear if an update was found, but that perhaps the code accidentally makes the same happen even if no updates were found. Also, I’d like to point out that this issue has been complained about in many portions of the forum. Thus, I know that it’s not confined solely to my computer.
B. FILES APPENDED. (Please zip unless screenshots).: - A diagnostics report file (Click ‘?’ in top right of main GUI) Required for all issues):
Attached. - Screenshots of the 6.0 Killswitch Process Tab (see Advanced tasks ~ Watch Activity) or 5.x Active Process List. If accessible, required for all issues::
Process Dump Attached. - Screenshots illustrating the bug:
Attached. - Screenshots of related CIS event logs:
I do not see where automatic checks for updates are shown in the logs. Thus, I have not taken screenshots of the logs. - A CIS config report or file:
Attached. - Crash or freeze dump file:

Information provided below.
C. YOUR SETUP:
