I have noticed this as well.

Why is the paying customer having to go through all of this.  Can't some get corel to provide a link to the previous version?  Is nick not monitoring the forum?

I cannot find a way to turn the message off.  It happens every time I open PS and I have updates turned off.

I use a hero7 and hero8.  I always film 4k 60fps.  I have no choppy playback in ps23 or ps24, but I have not installed the 24.1.0.260 patch, and don't  plan on installing it. Is there a way to turn off the install update message box when I start ps24? 

Is your content, titles & ps assets, on onedrive?  I can't imagine that working

Funny and sad at the same time. Increase their customer/user base by giving away 10K or 20K copies of PS24 for a $1 or $10 each on humble bundle, then install a patch, break it, and then don't support it by fixing it or un-rolling the patch, just tell everyone it's your computer?  Just crazy.

I would ask Corel help desk for a link to the previous version of PS24, and post it here to help others.  I have just been clicking ''NO UPDATE'' every time I start PS24.  Turning off automatic update checking does not stop checking in PS24.

Make a full backup first!

Well, that's very interesting.....  

Would you both agree that ps24 before the latest patch was at least as fast as your ps23 results?
