Version 13.28 crashes whenever it tries to tell me it has an update

OF2019TMMF

I normally use videopad v13.28 and I don't want to upgrade to a more recent version because it'll affect files, and every 6-9 months it tries to tell me that it has an update, but I can't update. so I'll have to manually uninstall it, than reinstall that version, and it is hell. how do I fix this?

Though there may be 'encouragement' to update, there's never a mandate. Your purchased, registered version will continue to function.

New releases can always be test driven. Just OVERinstall. There's normally no need to uninstall - whether it's an older version over a newer or vice-versa.

In what way do you believe that an upgrade will affect your files?
