I seem to get this screen a lot with the updater - anyone else see the same?

Oddly, shortly after that screen pops up, the updater screen with apps I actually have installed pops up over the top of it.
This happens if you launch it twice. Which you are likely inadvertently doing during startup (when the updater is silently checking for updates in the background). If you have update on startup on (the new default), it's checking in the background when your platform is starting up. It only bugs you after it figures out there are updates available, otherwise it is completely silent. If you start another copy while it's running, it produces this error. It's a known bug listed in the platform bug list and will be fixed shortly.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
