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.
