Everytime I open my VP18 (build 527) now, it asks to update. I click on the "update details" and all the features being "updated" are features only inherent to VP19.
What gives? I almost updated for bug fixes, which would've resulted in me being asked to purchase the VP19 upgrade. This is not cool and this update notification will not go away.
In Preferences/General, try deselecting 'Use Newsfeed to stay informed about VEGAS product updates'.
Don't click on it- appears to be a bug in the update system (not a nefarious attempt to get you to buy something)

Though I could be wrong, but wasn't the phantom update bug related to VP19? As per ...
I just checked the Newsfeed selection in Preferences/General, and next time opening VP18 I also got the window offering VP19 - and it clearly states that it is an offer to buy VP19.
I see, I thought it might have been a broader issue with the update system than 19.381. I uninstalled 18 so I can't check.
Yes, the Newsfeed does always give offers to upgrade at a special price and good advice on how to make that disappear if it's annoying.
I am also getting this each time I open VP 18 build 527:
When I click on "New in this update" I get:
I clicked on "Update Later" and didn't try "Perform update now".
It doesn't happen if I open VP17.
I do not have VP19 installed.
Still getting this every time I open VP18 build 527. 'Use Newsfeed to stay informed about VEGAS product updates' is not checked. So I clicked "Perform update now" in an attempt to flush it out and it tried to install VP19 build 381. I made a support request, Ticket#2021110617000461.
A "head scratcher" for sure! My Win10 OS is up to date. Also, when I open VP17, I do not see it either.
I'm still getting it. I've unchecked the thingie in preferences about Use Newsfeed, too.
@NickHope, Just remove the file named "install.cfg" from within your Vegas Pro installation folder..... Finally puts a stop to all this pop up mess!
It seems the reason I was getting the prompt is that I forgot I am using a "VEGAS Stream POST 365" license and not a VP18 perpetual license. So the prompt is valid, but (as my old OS does not support VP19) it would be nice if the prompt had a "Do not show again" checkbox.

Thank you @Steve_Rhoden. Renaming install.cfg to install.cfgRENAMED has stopped the prompt. Hopefully no expected side effects of doing that.
@NickHope, Well there was a side effect to doing this that i also resolved. When i removed this file, whenever you tried to open a Vegas project file without having Vegas opened, there is a pop up saying that vegas cannot be installed etc. So the proper solution i did was to open the install.cfg file instead and at the very bottom there are two web addresses, just remove them, re-save and now all is perfect !
