Give option to completely disable update prompts
The updates for SQL Prompt have gotten out of hand - almost every day when logging into management studio it will prompt users to install a new update. And the notification steals focus from the main window, so it interrupts workflow. Not to mention redgate recently deployed an update that completely broke SQL Prompt in SSMS 18.1 for anyone that installed it. Users should have the ability to disable the notification completely if they so desire - "skip this version" does basically nothing when a new version is released a day later.

I agree completely with this. Our users do not have the ability to run updates on their machines, and constantly have to "Skip this Version". Disabling completely would be a much better option.
