Constant "Permission to update" request on Windows

Getting a "permission to update" request from Windows (10 Pro) about every 30 minutes. Regardless of me clicking yes, or cancel, the request pops up all the time. Any ideas?

    Hi Adrian-

    I ended up having to uninstall/reinstall DB. I timed it for some downtime because the re-syncing took about 8 hours, but it did fix the issue. I hope it works for you. - Cheers-

I too am having this same issue. It started in May. Constant app update requests. I too am the admin. for my organization and have never had this issue in the past. I've uninstalled and reinstalled to no avail. I'm getting so many update requests that its bogging down my computer. You guys need to fix this immediately or we're moving to another provider.
