Persistent BitTorrent message to update despite having latest build

[aaa1steve]

1.  I have the latest build (v. 7.10.3  Build 44397) but I am still being pestered by the message to update whenever I start Windows 10. How can I stop the message from showing up?

2. When I last updated, the update wizard did NOT ask me where I wanted to install it (in the previous folder BitTorrrent was in). Instead, it installed where it wanted to, and I lost all of my preferences, directory locations for torrents and downloads, etc. Why was I not given a choice on the folder I wanted, as other programs do when they install or update?

You don't have the latest build.

Interesting. When I  go to Help and "Check for Updates", I get the message "There is no new version available at this time."

Don't trust "Check for Updates". It can be hit & miss at the best of times.

You can see the latest build & changelog here: http://blog.bittorrent.com/releases/windows/

Download the latest build from here: https://www.bittorrent.com/downloads/win

I was only off by 70 builds. LOL. The update installation went fine. I just let the wizard put the program in the folder where it damn well wanted to, so all of my preferences and ongoing torrent list was intact when I re-launched. Thank you very much.
