This is most likely related to your firewall or virusscanner configuration.
Please make sure nothing is blocking the application.

Maybe you have enabled ransomware protection in Windows?

I understand that this is frustrating for you.
But please understand that there is nothing I can do about this.
Something on your computer on your computer is blocking the application.
If your firewall or virus scaner is wrongly configured then the application cannot bypass this.
Version 15.4.1 is very minor update so it works the same as before. However, for a firewall/virus scanner it is a new application because it has a different 'fingerprint'.
i tried reinstalling 15.4.0 but that just goes straght to the update page
Can't you just ignore the update notification?

What exactly does this popup look like?
If you mean the standard update notification then you can just click 'OK' to ignore it.
But I cannot think of any other reason for the application not to launch than that something is blocking it.
