Check update option is set to Daily by default. I believe that in order to keep the application portable and functional at the same time, it should be set to Never.

Even though the option is there, the updater component was removed so the app can't self update as that would break portability. That said, I'll change the default to Never in the next release.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
