I've seen it multiple times over the years. Don't know what could be causing this.
In my experience - having 2 different instances (e.g. if you want 2 icons on the taskbar) and one having updated.
Yup! Two different profiles running at the same time. As soon as I update one, I'll update the other one as well to avoid this.
Though whenever I forget, it's a pain!!
I think this could be handled differently. Interrupting the user's work half-way through is such a bad, bad form.
I hate the way paint.net does it. It tells you there's an update and that it can do it after you close the program. Cool! So I finish what I'm doing, close paint.net, it updates and then it automatically starts up again. Why? I just closed you, you dummy!
Interesting! It's been ages since last time I used paint.net on a daily basis. Yeah, that would get on my nerves after a while too.

It's after an update, since the update might change used files.
