Annoying Pop-Up to upgrade to Vegas Pro

Lately, every time I start VMS17 I get an annoying pop-up to upgrade to Vegas Pro. I always click the "Do Not Show" box on the bottom left, but it still pops up the next time. How can I stop this?

This was answered elsewhere. I believe the answer is to go to OPTIONS → GENERAL → PREFERENCES and deselect, "Use newsfeed to stay informed about VEGAS product updates."

I don't want to disable this - I want to be informed of UPDATES. The UPGRADE offer is not an update. And the upgrade offer has an explicit "Do Not Show" checkbox, but this seems to make no difference. And I never install Magix Connect.
