It seems that the update solved the issue. I did not think of updating it as it was quite a recent version (2019). A new feature request: please make a popup at the launch of Studio announcing new updates available for download. That way everyone will be using the new features and patches.

Agree - an alert should be given and link to the release notes also provided.

You are already alerted to updates AND there is a link to the release notes in the Notifications view. (The field around the little bell turns orange.) And all you have to do is press the "download" button and the update will start. How could this be made even more obvious and easy to use?

But make sure you also update MultiTerm, as a new version of Studio often requires the corresponding version of MultiTerm. (Notification is identical in MultiTerm.)

thanks for your reply Daniel. I did not get the alert to the last update, - which I would normally expect in my email, so I thought.

I know of no program that sends me emails for minor updates, but there might be some. You could subscribe to the "Product Updates" subforum here, then you would get update notifications per email. If you set your Outlook or whichever email client you use up to filter these emails, you could whittle it down to just getting Studio product update emails. (Personally, I get enough emails so I am happy that these notifications are within Studio.)

Daniel

thanks yet again. I found the product update forum but - very sorry, can't see how to subscribe to it. 

I would certainly like to subscribe, because what you call 'minor' updates were crucial in the problems I have had over the past two weeks.

I'd try this:

You can also subscribe to the RSS feed, if that is a thing you do. Once you have it in Outlook you can use Outlook rules to do with it whatever you like, if you are a bit technically inclined.
