To get rid of this message, you should change a .json file on your computer.

Update the UnNamed.Json on Your Computer Link to this section

  1. Execute the Run command via Windows key + R
  2. Enter %appdata%\Autodesk\ADPSDK\UserConsent.
  3. There should be multiple .json files in this folder. Order the content by size and open UnNamed.json. It’s the only 1Kb-size file in the folder.
  4. Open the file with NotePad and replace all the null with false and then save.

Eventually, your UnNamed.Json file should look like this. You could copy paste this into the file on your computer.

{
    "preferences": [
        {
            "consentId": "ADSK_PUD_CONTRACTUAL_NECESSITY_DESKTOP",
            "lastUpdated": 1684195982000,
            "optIn": false
        },
        {
            "consentId": "ADSK_PUD_OPTIMIZATION_IMPROVEMENT_DESKTOP",
            "lastUpdated": 1684195982000,
            "optIn": false
        },
        {
            "consentId": "ADSK_PUD_GO_TO_MARKET_DESKTOP",
            "lastUpdated": 1684195982000,
            "optIn": false
        }
    ],
    "userActionRequired": false,
    "userId": "UnNamed"
}
