The very first thing I do after installing the program in Windows and doing the first update, is change the Updater settings to ask me first. To change the Windows program Update Preferences settings go up To Online - Updater Preferences
You can set my "Updater Preferences" to "Always Ask" or more commonly set to "I don't have an internet connection" , and then I am not forced to update....and can manually force an update when I choose to do so. And then I can open my file(s) at any time with no forced upgrade.
