I really agree. Update fatigue is a real thing. MKVToolnix is the same way, every single time I start it I am interrupted by an update dialog. Even the act of just dismissing it is a minor annoyance.

I would be happier if it just did it in the background while it was running like Chrome and Firefox. Download the update in the background and then silently install it next time the app starts. I don’t need another daemon running in the background at all times.

and silently break something the next time you start an app? Better use some scoop package manager and update at your own schedule
