Currently, an update notification only appears if there is a conflicting application running. It would be very helpful for end user visibility if we could set certain applications to always show a notification before updating, even if no conflicting process is running. This could then allow users to defer an update if they know they are about to use the software and prevent potential issues or confusion when an app updates without the user knowing.

Hello Justin,
Although there isn't a specific setting for this, it is now possible to always display an updated notification.
You can have this functionality by leveraging Scripts (which now support PSADT functions) and the PSADT.
Deploy an app
Add a pre-install script
Use the
Show-ADTInstallationPromptPSADT function to configure and display a message to the end user:https://psappdeploytoolkit.com/docs/4.1.x/reference/functions/Show-ADTInstallationPrompt
NOTE: This applies to the Cloud Portal only. The OnPrem Publisher doesn't yet support PSADT functions natively.
To have this functionality in the OnPrem Publisher, in addition to specifying a pre-script, you would need to upload the PSADT Modules as additional files and folders.
