"Update Available" Button Unexpectedly Triggers on Enter Key Press

Whenever Roblox Studio is outdated and the “Update Available” button appears in the upper-right corner, it automatically receives focus and becomes bound to the Enter key.

While this might be rare, in my case I was actively scripting and pressed Enter to move to a new line. At that exact moment, the update popup appeared and intercepted the key press—causing Studio to restart immediately. As a result, I lost valuable unsaved work.

This behaviour is frustrating for two reasons:

  1. The button should not automatically focus or respond to Enter without intentional user interaction.
  2. Studio does not auto-save before applying the update, which can lead to significant data loss.

Expected behavior

When the “Update Available” popup appears, it should not automatically receive keyboard focus or bind to the Enter key. Pressing Enter while working—such as writing code in the Script Editor, should continue to behave normally and not trigger the update. Additionally, if an update is about to be applied, Studio should automatically save before restarting.

Hi there,

Some update related improvements is in the roadmap and will be released in the next month or so, which should resolve this issue.

I will close this one internally for now.

Thanks!
