About Gimp pops up on startup

GIMP Version: 2.10.18
Operating System: Windows
GIMP Experience: Basic Level

I'm just curious as to why the About Gimp portion of the program has now started to make itself known on start up. Anyone else having this problem? I use Windows 10 64 Bit.

Neither had I until today. I think all it needed was that small update. Now I don't see it anymore.

From bottom of https://www.gimp.org/news/2020/02/24/gi ... -released/

Quote:

Update check to notify users of new releases available
GIMP will now check every time on the start up if the version of GIMP you have is the latest one available. It will do so by pinging GIMP’s server for the version of the latest release, then comparing it to the one installed on your computer.

You can disable this feature on the System Resources page of the Preferences dialog, and manually use the Check for updates button in the About dialog.
