I'm having issues updating Arduino it constantly is asking me to update the app and always brings me to the download off the website. Just wondering if I should just ignore this or is there a solution?
Is the problem that the Windows app is telling you there is a newer version of the Arduino IDE (which would be 1.8.10), but that only the equivalent of Arduino IDE 1.8.9 is available from the Windows Store?
It is possible to turn off the check for updates in File > Preferences > Check for updates at startup. The downside is that this will also disable the IDE from notifying you when there are newer versions of installed libraries or boards support packages available. You can check those by opening Tools > Manage Libraries.. or Tools > Board > Boards Manager and then selecting "Updatable" from the Type dropdown menu.
