Updater doesn't show after deleting reg key

[mbakervti]

I have this checking for update when the program starts up:

{
        AutoUpdater.Synchronous = true;
        AutoUpdater.RunUpdateAsAdmin = false;
        AutoUpdater.ClearAppDirectory = true;
        if (Keyboard.IsKeyDown(Key.LeftCtrl) || Keyboard.IsKeyDown(Key.RightCtrl))
	        AutoUpdater.ReportErrors = true;

	AutoUpdater.Start($"file://network_path/AppVersionInfo.xml");
}

When the user clicks the menu option I delete the registry key and call this function again...

string keyName = "SOFTWARE\\MyApp\\MyApp";
try
{
	using (RegistryKey key = Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey(keyName, true))
	{
		if (key != null)
		{
			key.DeleteSubKeyTree("AutoUpdater");
		}
	}
}
catch
{
	// ignore, all it means is there's no key
}

The program also does some async operations and when it's done with them it calls the CheckForUpdate() each time when it's no longer busy. The update never shows a second time. What I'm trying to do is have AutoUpdater check again and show the dialog if there's an update available, but not make it mandatory.

Thanks
Mike

Are you using Remind Later or Skip option when it shows up?

They're using the remind later option. I think they're setting it to 7 days. I'm deleting both keys so I'd like reset both options.
I should add that it works OK if I shut down the program and start it again. CheckUpdate returns a timer object, StartUpdate sets up the _remindLaterTimer. From then on the Start method bails out at AutoUpdater line 314 because _remindLaterTimer != null. It's not exposed so we can't reset it and the program doesn't check for it again. If I clear the reg keys and restart then it shows me the update.
Thanks for the time, Mike

You can hide the Remind Later option instead.

We’d like to be able to have the remind later option, but still force it to check again and display the dialog if there’s an update (and still allow them to skip it). I know it sounds strange. The shift supervisor might come by to check it and then tell the operator to update it on the next scheduled break.
