Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Comfy-Org/desktop/issues/1235

Prerequisites

I have searched the existing issues and checked the recent builds/commits
I have read the documentation and this feature is not already available
This is a single feature request (not multiple features combined)

Problem Statement

User has ComfyUI desktop on the background
User is focused on something else
ComfyUI desktop receives an update request
ComfyUI desktop prompts the user with an alert, asking for their action on updating now or next launch
- This pops up over whatever the user was doing to ask for an update

Proposed Solution

The update is handled with a custom handler, having an in-app toast or something else other than todesktop's default new window.

ComfyUI desktop is notified of a new desktop release
ComfyUI desktop shows an in-app toast (or something else) to notify the user of an update
ComfyUI desktop does not spawn a new alert window to ask the user for their input

Potential workflow

ComfyUI desktop is notified of a new desktop release
ComfyUI desktop shows a toast or something else non-intrusive that isn't a new window alert

Impact Level

Low (Minor enhancement)

Alternatives Considered

No response

Additional information

It's odd because I remember writing the custom update handler as a toast, but maybe it was removed?

Or maybe that was only the custom update handler for when you checked for updates?

Maybe both can be merged together? Like how VSCode(-alikes) handles updates.

Also, I think this also managed to pop in front of a full screened application.

As crazy as this sounds, I swear it happened, but I also don't think Windows would ever allow this, and no other app I've used managed to do what this update prompt did.

Hi, @benceruleanlu. I'm Dosu, and I'm helping the desktop team manage their backlog and am marking this issue as stale.

Issue Summary:

You suggested replacing intrusive pop-up update alerts with subtle in-app toast notifications.
You also proposed unifying manual and automatic update notifications to reduce user disruption.
The goal is to create a smoother, less interruptive user experience during focused or full-screen work.
There has been no further activity or comments on this issue since your initial suggestion.

Next Steps:

Please let me know if this issue is still relevant to the latest version of the ComfyUI desktop app by commenting here.
If I don’t hear back within 7 days, this issue will be automatically closed.

Thanks for your understanding and contribution!
