Using PSP is like using Facebook, except you actually paid for the privilege. They function like Advertisement Platforms. I doubt the latest version has rectified this I have yet to use a Corel Application which does not abuse its users in this way. I had WordPerfect Office X7, and it had pop-ups as well. As someone who uses a secondary laptop that is still decently powerful for on-the-go media editing, but has only a 768p screen. AfterShot 3 has Pro Upgrade Advertisements built into the interface, wasting screen real-estate. PaintShop Pro also has advertisements built into the interface for ParticleShop (Brush Menu) and AfterShot Pro (Camera RAW Lab). Even if you shut off the Tasks and Turn Messages off in the program, you still randomly get huge Pop-Up advertisements for things like Multi-Camera, Upgrades, etc. TL DR: There is no way to shut them off completely. The applications still pop up huge Ads when you start or exit them, at random times, advertising things like Multi-Camera, Upgrades, etc. This is borderline abusive, because turning everything off doesn't fix the problem. Paid Software should not be used as an advertisement platform, which is exactly what COREL does. That should just go to the Welcome Screen. This shouldn't even be in a paid program. I never allow automatic updates or automatic installs when checking for updates, preferring to go to the Updates page to first read what the update provides and then manually download and save the update file in a folder prior to installing it. I personally hear about updates in this forum, but if I didn't I'd just check Corel's updates page once in awhile. And, as said, you can always manually check for updates. To hear when a new version is released you can either occasionally monitor this forum, check the Corel site once in awhile, and - if you registered the software - you'll likely get an email from Corel when a new version comes out. Also, sometimes the newest version introduces a feature to an existing tool that makes it worse for most users, the changes to how the crop tool in 2018 operates being a good example.Ĭorel releases a new version approximately once a year. Quite often the features added to the latest version are features that many users don't need in their workflow. Newer versions don't necessarily make previous versions obsolete. I'm totally open to suggestions.RyAndy442 wrote:Well, those ads are annoying, but isn't this also the way the new PSP versions or updates are communicated? I don't want to risk working with an obsolete software. So, I'm looking for some less conventional options to stop the ads. They never came back so whatever I did worked. It was too long ago to remember exactly what I did but I must have been able to use these methods on 8.1 because I got the ads then and did something to stop them. Over a series of five emails, Corel tech support gave me the same suggestions and when I told them that none of them worked, they blamed Windows 10 and said that my Corel product versions were no longer supported anyway. I don't have any Corel items listed there Going into Task Scheduler and disabling any Corel tasks There's a dropdown menu that should be there but I don't haveģ. Going into message preferences and unchecking those options Checking the "do not show again" box on the ad itselfĢ. I've tried the three main methods that I've found to stop the ads.ġ. I'm getting pop-up ads about every other time I exit from any of them. I have Corel PhotoPaint 17 and the CorelDRAW Home & Student 17 suite.
