Hi Aelson:
The change log for v5.77.8448 at https://www.ccleaner.com/ccleaner/version-history says in part "Fixed a rare bug where Update Notifications would be shown when they shouldn’t" but I won't be able to test if this stops the appearance of the pop-up notification shown below in v5.77 when all options at Options | Updates | Control Product Updates For CCleaner are disabled until v5.78 is released at some point in the future.
I haven't heard anything further from Avast / Piriform so I have to assume that clicking "Update Now" in the above pop-up would have incorrectly installed the unwanted Emergency Updater (i.e., CCUpdate.exe plus the CCleaner Update task in Task Scheduler) to CCleaner Portable . Until I hear back from Avast / Piriform I'm not going to test myself - I'll just do what I've done in the past and unzip the latest ccsetup577.zip for CCleaner Portable v5.77.8448 from https://www.ccleaner.com/ccleaner/builds to get the latest versions of CCleaner.exe and CCleaner64.exe.

Indeed. Can't retrospectively bugfix the older versions ?

Also correct. As mentioned previously, there's few things to unpick around how we might best approach this, so the best solution for portable users would be, as you say, to switch off the automatic updates and stick with your previous practice of manual downloads.

Finally some good news to report. It appears the bug fix in CCleaner v5.77.8448 (rel. 18-Feb-2021) that "Fixed a rare bug where Update Notifications would be shown when they shouldn't" worked for my CCleaner Portable. All settings at Option | Updates | Control Product Updates for CCleaner are still disabled ...
... and when I launched CCleaner Portable v5.77.8448 today I didn't automatically see the pop-up nagging me to update. I clicked the "Check for Updates" in the bottom-right corner of the interface link to manually check for an update and only then did I see the pop-up notifying me that minor update v5.77.8521 (rel. 04-Mar-2021) was available.
The bad news it that the pop-up still prompts me begin installation of the update. I assume that clicking "Update Now" would have incorrectly installed the Emergency Updater (i.e., CCUpdate.exe plus the CCleaner Update task in Task Scheduler) to CCleaner Portable so I clicked "Remind Me Later" and manually downloaded the new ccsetup577.zip file from https://www.ccleaner.com/ccleaner/builds to get the latest versions of CCleaner.exe and CCleaner64.exe.
