Autodownload Hell

For over a year now--whenever my Vegas Pro 17 crashes--I receive a prompt from the application, inviting me to click on a link--whereby Vegas automatically begins to download the very Version/Build # I have installed, which is annoying since I have to then cancel the download.

When I recently installed the Windows 10 update to VP 17, I thought this would stop the autodownloading. It continues.

Truly, how can this have escaped the attention of the engineers between the time 17 was released and now--when the Windows 10 fix for VP 17 has been released.

This is the kind of thing that breeds big-time skepticism about real-world testing in the likes of fairly competent folks like me.
