I use MyMovies due to its tight integration with Windows Media Center. I have kept WMC going over the years with the upgrades required so that it is still running on my Windows 11 23H2 systems. I cannot upgrade windows beyond 23H2 as newer releases completely break WMC. Every time I start any of my three client computers I get the notification that MyMovies 5.41 is available (it hasn't figured out that 5.43 is the latest). I cannot upgrade to 5.41 as this no longer works with WMC. I have tried everything I can think of to stop the nagging pop ups. They appear in WMC everytime I choose a Movie or TV show. Is there a way of killing this notification for good? I tried registry entries and set most mymovies.dk web addresses to 127.0.0.1 in my hosts file but it still keeps nagging.

Unfortunately WMC has WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor) and this overrides all other considerations.

There are settings while in MyMovies in WMC where you can deselect 'Ask to install program updates' and 'Ask to install pre-release updates.' They're in the hidden Navigation Menu at the top of the screen. If you're using a mouse, click the little arrows at the ends of the Navigation Menu to expand it, then click Settings > Automatic Updates. If you're using a remote, just navigate to the top of the screen, then make the same selections. See if that helps.

In my case, those boxes are not checked (i.e. they are deselected), but I still get the nag to upgrade to 5.41. Just FYI, in case others are wondering.

Unfortunately, I am in the same situation. Just want to stop the nagging.
Out of curiosity (Binnerup), what programs work well with MYMOVIES, that you would suggest on the windows side and that work well with the newest version? If there were an EASY conversion to a different program that had the same "wife acceptance factor", I would consider "upgrading". I have used Chameleon Media Center, but it is not "quite" the same.

I do not think that there are any better alternatives than Chameleon Media Center.
