    I can verify this. It's been happening to me for about two patches. Same exact issue.

    Same. I have the 2017 version and it keeps asking on launch. All you have to do is close it but it gets annoying after a while. You can also uninstall the new versions and let the launcher install the 2015 version to make it stop asking.
