I'm not sure if this is related, but I'm playing on a slightly older laptop that I purchased new about 5 years ago or so, and it has usually been able to play Arena reliably--the game would freeze every few games early on, but I believe that might have been due to Arena's rougher early version back then. Given that, I had a question. I'm not knowledgeable about computers, so I don't know if this is due to its age or perhaps just my not having played in a while (I stopped just after M19 released), but when I double clicked the launcher shortcut on my desktop it asked if I wanted Arena to make changes to my hard drive. I don't quite remember if this was a normal dialog window that comes up whenever there was a version update or something, but the reports of a bug causing Arena to delete files has me a little nervous about anything that might be out of the ordinary. When I first got Arena, I'm almost certain I did install it to the default location MTGA had automatically suggested--that is, C:>Program Files (x86)>Wizards of the Coast>MTGA --because I just clicked ok to all the default options when I first joined at around the first stress test (so pre-Kaladesh and -Dominaria), so should I be concerned about allowing the changes to be made? As I understand it, if we installed to the default location Arena originally suggested, we should be ok, right? For reference, when I click that "Allow Changes" dialog window's "Show details" arrow, it expands to a bunch of technical language that starts: C:>Users>Me>AppData>Local>Temp>MTGA>MTGAInstaller.exe [many lines of text] and ends: AI_SETUPEXEPATH_ORIGINAL="C:>Users>Me>AppData>Local>Temp>MTGA\MTGAInstaller.exe" AI_INSTALL="1"

So is that all normal for all computers regardless of age or is it perhaps due to not having played in a while such that various updates have accumulated in the interim? Is this the message people see before the bug, or is the bug not even relevant anymore? I thought the bug issue was solved, but this recent message is making me want to doublecheck just to be safe. Thanks for any help.
