Description of the Issue

When I'm launching N++ and there's an update, I get the option to do it now (interactively), do it now (silently), not do it now, or not do it ever.

I would like an option to say "Update on Close", so when I next try to exit the application then I'm prompted with update options.

I usually want to do updates, but if I'm launching the application it's usually because I'm hurriedly trying to jot something down or make a timely edit. I am not going to remember to go back and manually start the update process after doing so, and thus the next time I launch I'm greeted by the same screen again. Letting the application start the process when it isn't a time-sensitive issue (I actively don't want the application anymore if I'm closing it) smooths the whole thing out.

Describe the solution you'd like.

The update window has an option to "Update on Close" or "Ask me on close" or some such. Next time I close the application, it either asks me my update preference again or just launches straight into it.

Debug Information

N/A

Anything else?

Paint.NET uses this same update paradigm if you want to reference how they handle it. I believe it works really well.
