I am mainly using Google Chrome. Does this occur with earlier Quartus version or this specific version?
Does this occur with other machine?

Try to Run Quartus As Administrator. If not, download and re-install the Quartus at https://fpgasoftware.intel.com/ to see if the issue persists.

I don't think it impact much in your design whether it check for updates or not. Make sure that the Quartus is installed with the latest version and you should be good to go.

    Thanks,
