As a PRTG administrator, I want the ability to check for available updates without immediately triggering a full installer download, so that I can quickly verify if a new version exists and better control when updates are downloaded and installed.

Currently, if an administrator clicks “Check for Latest Update and Download” in the PRTG UI, the system immediately downloads the full installer — even if the installed version is already up to date.

This behavior significantly increases the time required to simply verify if a new version is available. In environments where update timing is tightly controlled (e.g., only during maintenance windows), administrators often just want to check for updates — not initiate a full download.

We propose adding a separate "Check for Update Only" action, or at least a confirmation prompt before downloading.

This would:

Save time by avoiding unnecessary downloads

Improve clarity and control over the update process

Better align with the “Alert the admin only” setting in Auto-Update
