Stop advert on opening

Any one know how to stop the update advert from appearing each time I open Vegas Movie Studio 17 Platinum. I tick the box that states 'do not show message again'. Next time I open, guess what?

Really annoying. Hope you can advise.

Thank you.

A similar post on the Vegas Pro forum the other day:

The update seems to be embedded in the program and designed to invoke maximum annoyance (IMO) so as to make us upgrade just to get rid of it.

Thank you for the reply. However, the post commented on by you deals with the upgrade. I want to stop the nagging screen informing of the upgrade. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you

Did you start from the link in my comment above? The next comment right below links to this comment. If one reads the links there, one may need to agree with @Dexcon's conclusion in his comment. (See the last two comments here.)

Thank you for being so patient. I saw the following in the comments.

'Have you unchecked the Newsfeed option?'

Went to preferences. Unchecked 'Use newsfeed to stay informed about VEGAS products updates'.

Worked a treat.

Thank you
