In BWP I get an update message box displayed, but it can be dismissed. I don't have any issue with it attempting to download.
I'm not in Puppy at present, maybe a setting change for auto update?

Re: EasyOS Kirkstone-series version 5.4.10
Great choice to include Flowblade as built-in in EasyOS 5.4.10. I haven't done a video project for some time, but used Flowblade a while ago for several projects, which was quite easy to learn, producing excellent results.
EasyOS 5.4.10 running very nicely. Thank you.

I would leave it as ataflsh . Personally I believe it gives you more options to save or not save. The updates reside in ram until you,click the Save icon, which saves any updates made to that point in the session. With pupmode 13 you can choose the save period or to not save at all. The shutdown ...
