New update every day recently?

Charts General
1

Using Charts app on Windows desktop, I swear for past 4-5 days I’ve had a new update prompt daily? Is this normal? Current version installed is 7.6.1

Hi…,

Welcome.

That isn’t normal.

I suggest a fresh install.

Disable Antivirus and firewalls in case that is an issue.

Please use only Windows Programs and Features exactly as follows to uninstall Charts and Simlink:

  • If they exist delete folders:
    c:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Navigraph\Simlink
    c:\Program Files\Navigraph\Simlink
    c:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Navigraph\Charts c:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Programs\Navigraph Charts
  • Download and install latest Charts .
  • Download and install latest Simlink .

Please let us know how you get on.

Cheers

Hi

I’m still affected by this issue and its kinda annoying. I’ve followed the instructions above to do a complete reinstall. So to recap everytime I setup a flight it always says a new version is available, the software updates itself and everything works but this happens every single time I launch Charts on my desktop PC.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi…,

Any chance you are using Firefox as browser? If so please see FAQ - Firefox may start an app when Simlink Starts. If incorrectly set, Firefox might be starting Charts install each time Simlink starts.

Thanks for the reply. I don’t use Firefox, I use Gener8. However the charts application isn’t web based, its charts desktop I use which is a standalone app so would this make a difference?

A browser is used for login. As a test, please try setting Chrome as your default browser.

I actually have the same issue already for weeks…Chrome is my default browser. Will try to do a clean install. I do have the app downloaded on a seperate HDD and not on the C-drive.
