Thanks for info FLOOD. Am ok getting patches and am aware of information in your post above.
Am really asking
in regards to an actual program version update, not patch updates. In other words if it a program update (not patch update) can I ignore and Not do a Download Now or Upgrade. In other words myself the user can choose to not upgrade/download the new Program version?
My intuition is telling me Kaspersky is moving to a situation where Program and Patch updates will be mandatory with no choice on this for user.

So when I receive this notification in future can I just ignore the notification so I do not DOWNLOAD NOW or UPGRADE. In other words I make no changes and ignore the notification. Thanks Felix88

Thankyou Nexon...I generally do not update to a new program version as I like matured software. So when a new version of the program itself comes out …. say for example Kaspersky Antivirus 2021 I would not update to it until it has had several patch updates to sort out any bugs/issues. I would bother with Kaspersky Antivirus 2021 on patch letter (d) but avoid Kaspersky Antivirus 2021 on patch (b).
- When Kaspersky notifys as mentioned in your post …. does user have a choice to say ‘No I do not want to update to the latest program version’ ?? Thanks Felix77

I noticed that after patch update from 20.0.14.1085 (i) to 20.0.14.1085 (j) there has been a change in the update settings screen (settings cog>Additional>Update) which can be seen by pictures below.
From 20.0.14.1085 (i)
To 20.0.14.1085 (j)
Q1. Does this mean that user no longer has a choice regards: 'Do not download new versions automatically and do not notify me when they are available' OR ‘Download and install new versions automatically’ ?
Q2. These seem to have gone missing and is this normal for the latest patch 20.0.14.1085 (j) ??Looks like the program has changed so everything is updated automatically and user has no control over this any more.
Q3. I have looked all over the GUI and cannot find the above settings elsewhere. Does anybody know where they maybe or is this a change done by Kaspersky ??
Lookin forward to a reply …. Felix77

Alternatively is it true that should I deselect 'Do not download new versions automatically and do not notify me when they are available' and instead select ‘Download and install new versions automatically’ afterwards at some future point a TFU will occur and program will offer to update to a new program version when it is available ??
PLEASE READ>>>For example currently I am using KAV 20.0.14.1085 (h) with the setting: 'Do not download new versions automatically and do not notify me when they are available' Supposing in 8 months from now I learn that Kaspersky has released a future version of KAV version 21.X.XX.XXXX (a) . Subsequently I then change the program update setting to: ‘Download and install new versions automatically’
QUESTION 1. Does this mean a TFU will occur and new program will silently download and GUI will inform me is new program and offer to install it. ??
QUESTION 2. AND there will be no need to manually uninstall the old version and manually install the new version ??
Thx Felix77

**** Please look at pic. With following am not talking about patch updates that occur through Database Updates. That is not what my questions are about. I am talking about a entirely new future KAV program version that does not exist now. For example a hypothetical future KAV version 21.X.XX.XXXX (f). Would be generally termed KAV 2021. Under Update settings as shown with pic attached, I have deliberately selected 'Do not download new versions automatically and do not notify me when they are available' as I do not want to update to a 'entirely new program version' until it is matured significantly with say a high patch letter. Currently am using KAV 20.0.14.1085 (h) which is matured software as has patch letter (h). I would not want to go to 21.X.XX.XXXX (a), but would want to go to 21.X.XX.XXXX (f) due to software maturity.
QUESTION 1: Because I have this selection, does this mean I would need to manually uninstall the older program version before installing a newer program version when it is available in the future ??
QUESTION 2: As I selected 'Do not download new versions automatically and do not notify me when they are available' I am assuming this means that a Total Force Upgrade (TFU) will not occur with my installation. Is this correct?? **Total Force Upgrade refers to what happens when ‘Download and install new versions automatically’ is selected instead of my selection choice.
QUESTION 3: Alternatively is it true that should I deselect 'Do not download new versions automatically and do not notify me when they are available' and instead select ‘Download and install new versions automatically’ at some future point a TFU will occur and program will offer to update to a new program version when it is available?
QUESTION 4: When I wish to update the program from my current KAV 20.0.14.1085 (h) to a new program version in future say KAV 21.X.XX.XXXX (f), can I do this by just downloading and installing the newer program version ‘on the top of the older version’ without uninstalling older version first beforehand ??
****Please answer my questions by copying them and then adding your response after each question perhaps in italics. Will be clearer for me.
THANKING YOU Felix77

answer to Q1. Yes am able to shutdown/restart PC in normal mode as applied fixes at links in my initial post. However I cannot find anything anywhere that explains what was the cause of the prob. Has nothing to do with a recent windows update as I turned off windows update a long time ago.
answer to Q2. Am using KAV version: 20.0.14.1085 (g)
answer to Q4. Yes am paying license user … new
answer to Q3. GSI report attached.

Answer to Q2: Have done a full scan to see if any malware, virus issue,and PC is clean of any.
I was wondering if this is a malware, virus issue which is why I posted on Community. I am a user of KAV.
Unable to answer Q1 as I only experienced the problem with W7 in normal mode.

Is anybody aware of current issue globally on Windows 7 users having a bug where they are unable to shutdown/restart PC. When that is done a dialogue window pops up indicating user does not have permission to shutdown/restart PC
Some links-solutions on this prob are here:
Curious to know does anybody have any further information regards this bug…..Felix77
Update Settings have been changed so there is no New Application Version choice.
in Kaspersky Anti-Virus

harlan4096 my questions are regarding an actual program version update (major) … not patch updates. Do not agree that updating all the time is all good. It can come with problems and often does. That is why I like some control over updating as well as good knowledge about what I am updating too….as mentioned initially I always look for matured software...not the latest necessarily.
Thanks for your help FLOOD and Nexon too….Felix77
