    I had no idea that option existed! Maybe that will also reduce the frequency of updates. Will install stable, disable the option and try again.

Hi there ChrisVermont, sorry to hear about this.
 

It seems that you're running a beta version of the desktop app. Could you try installing the latest, stable version from this page and let me know if you notice any difference?

 

Just make sure to toggle off the early releases from your account's settings first. 

 

Keep me posted, Chris.
