V3.0.5 can't stop upgrade pop-up

[TinyThomas]

I recently upgraded to V3.0.5. I now get pop-up notifications numerous times a session that a new version is available for download. Every time I click to download and install I get a message that I already have the latest version. That never happened in earlier versions. I unchecked the notifications on the taskbar option but I still get them. I want to be notified when an update is available but not constantly when it's not. I've gotten two pop-ups in the last ten minutes. I have the update settings set to check for updates every hour. How do I fix this? BTW I'm not a young tech savvy user. While I'm not a complete digital neophyte, I'm almost 70 so please don't drop a bunch of tech lingo on me that I probably won't understand. Thanks.

How? I opened MWB. It says I'm up to date. There is a black box that says install update but nothing happens when I click it. Also when I get the pop-up and click to download and install it then tells me I already have the latest version installed. I'm using Win7. This is a screenshot of my monitor. You can see it says I'm up to date but still have the notice of an update available. When I click download and install the pop-up goes away and nothing happens.

Before clicking the Download and install button, can you to Settings -> Protection and scroll down to Self Protection. Turn off self-protection and then click the orange install button for the update.

I'll try that tomorrow. I got tired of going in circles and turned that computer off. I'm on my laptop with an older version right now. I'll post what happens tomorrow. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks.  This seems to work.

Thank you so much, that did the job. They could sure make the process a lot less cumbersome, more intuitive and user friendly. Thanks again.
