Pathfinder Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 (edited) So, why doesn't the "update" just update? What I mean is and since the beginning (of CWbyBL I mean, not Sonar etc.) why doesn't it just update. I really don't remember every directory and how I have moved things to different drives etc. I can look before I guess. But my OCD kicks in everytime. I get I can choose advanced sop I can CHANGE something. I would rather it just updated unless I choose to change something. IOW, If I choose default I shouldn't have to keep clicking on NEXT. It should just happen. Isn't that the reason for Default or Advanced? Now, I am guessing you folks will say that's what it does. But, I don't need to see paths and so forth. I have stuff redirected to other drives etc. I know, doesn't soun like a big deal but since it's an "update". If I want to see\change something I would choose advance. But I don't so why not just update May not make sense to some\most but this has annoyed me since the beginning. My spelling is great, my TYPING stinks.

Jonathan Sasor Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 If you run the in-app updates, it does a "silent" install that just shows you the overall progress bar for the update keeping your existing settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK I guess I am doing it wrong- When the notification pops up in bottom right hand corner I click download. Am I NOT suppose to do that? I then go to my download folder and run the exe. Yup, I'm confused. Edited December 17, 2021 by Pathfinder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pathfinder Posted December 17, 2021 Author Share Posted December 17, 2021 OK . Is it "check for Updates" in the help menu? Is that the automatic deal? Guess I'll have to wait until the next update to find out. I don't see anything else in the program itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Borthwick Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 You can run it directly from the notification that pops up after the download completes, Why are you going to the download folder? If you do it this way Cakewalk will shut down and update itself automatically. No questions asked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
