Today I installed DS 4.9 Beta to run along side 4.8 so I can cointinue to use 4.8.
Every time DS 4.9 is started I get a message telling me that 'A valid PostgreSQL CMS connection could not be establised etc.
Apart from the fact that I never use 'Smart Content' and since DS 4.8 non shows if I load the Smart Content panel, I have no use for Cloud and can't see that I ever will. This has never been an issue in 4.8!!!
I use the basic Windows 10 Firewall and Anti-Virus, my network connection is fine.
I've even downloaded and installed the 'PostgreSQL' installation file to see if I can stop this annoying issue.
Is there anyway I can shut the damn thing off!! 
(PS I realise that this might be covered in another forum but I haven't got all day to troll through the multitude of posts that just 'might' be relevant)
