Honestly, this is rude. In a forum you reach other users - who may have found a workaround for the issue. So it's not like it's a useless action to take.
But you seem to be in every thread about this yelling at people to subscribe or shut up like some kind of weird Evernote stan instead of a helpful user of a software that offers a free option, so presumably you already know this and just don't care.
For now, I'm closing Evernote except when I actually need it so it stops doing this. I have no issue with it asking me to update! It's just the focus-stealing that's the problem. I use other free versions of software that ask me to update relatively frequently, but if I have the app minimized, it doesn't maximize it onto my screen and make me wait for it to load so I can tell it to do or not do the update. The behavior is janky from a UX perspective and that's fair to say- because again, it's free, it's not like we've pirated it. It's just the free option, and it didn't always work that way, so it's fair to point out that it sucks that it does now.
