Also, the UI additions still doesn't load when launching RoboDK by opening an .rdk file.
I also have this issue. Opening from the start menu doesn't create the window, but when I double-click a file from file explorer, the maintenance window issue occurs. Is there any way to stop this?
I have already made sure that .rdk files are set to open with a shortcut that includes the -SKIPMAINT command line argument.

I changed the shortcut at C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\RoboDK to target C:\RoboDK\bin\RoboDK.exe -SKIPMAINT instead of just C:\RoboDK\bin\RoboDK.exe. I subsequently right-clicked a .rdk file and chose Properties. I set "Opens with" to be the path to that RoboDK shortcut that I modified to have the -SKIPMAINT flag.
Looks like you might have an environment variable in there ("INSTDIR"?). Mine just looks like "C:\RoboDK\bin\RoboDK.exe", with no $ either.
Did you mean to have the -SKIPMAINT flag in there rather than -NEWINSTANCE? I tried with both and in both cases, the maintenance window still showed up, even after a computer restart.
Here's what mine looked like after making the change you suggested:
"C:\RoboDK\bin\RoboDK.exe" -NEWINSTANCE "%1"
While I don't have a solution either, my first impulse when attempting to fix the issue was to look in Tools > Options or Help > License. It feels like it should be possible to disable reminder messages through the normal settings screen rather than resorting to registry modifications. Perhaps a future version of RoboDK could support this behavior.
