If the Update Available didn't pop up, go to the little "Gear" icon
in the upper LH Corner, click it, and select "Check for updates"

Is there a list anywhere of what the fixes, enhancements, changes are?

I don't have an option for that.  Mine just lists:
 
View Profile
Notifications
Help
App Version (3.0.4)
Sign Out
Quit.
 
The Apps tab says 'Up to Date'.

 
 

Cakewalk by Bandlab is still officially an early release, so take that into account.  Personally I'm waiting until the final release comes out.
 
Never went for the early releases on Platinum updates, either. 

I downloaded the "latest" version and installed it, but it turned out to be the same version again, i.e. 3.0.4.

My first version of BA was 3.0.3. BandLab pushed 3.0.4 later that day. I suspect 3.0.5 is being delivered the same way.

3.0.6 has the check for updates and a enable/disable launch at startup menu item.  Also looks like they added Bandlab Assistant to the update notice message box title (so you know what app needs updating).  All good stuff.
 
I'm not sure I like the forking off Powershell to modify (I'm guessing) the system, but I'm not sure there is much difference from them doing it themselves.  I wonder if some corporate environments would prevent that entirely?

BTW, get your BA 3.0.6 update here: https://www.bandlab.com/download/assistant/windows

So they updated what? Hopefully it kills the auto startup.

Just remove it from MsConfig and it won't open when you boot up.

Can confirm that the new option works. No more auto-run for BA. I had deleted the registry key yesterday, and it's still gone this morning.
 
However, you will have to manually download and install BA 3.0.6 to get this feature.

I've never had an update pushed to me. I believe it has something to do with my recurring "Can not find Squirrel" error message. First time I cracked up at the message and didn't read it in full. Just looked at it again, and the full message is as follows:
 
[Window Title]
Error
[Main Instruction]
A JavaScript error occurred in the main process
[Content]
Uncaught Exception:
Error: Can not find Squirrel
at AutoUpdater.emitError (C:\Users\davet\AppData\Local\bandlab-assistant\app-3.0.4\resources\electron.asar\browser\api\auto-updater\auto-updater-win.js:58:24)

at App.emit (events.js:213:7)
[OK]
 
Note that the error is raised in a function named "AutoUpdater".
 
BTW, "Squirrel" is an auto-updater utility similar to Microsoft's ClickOnce. The slogan, in fact, is "Squirrel: It's like ClickOnce but works". That was my clue as to why I was getting this error, which turned out to be a self-inflicted injury. I had renamed the updater  from "update.exe" to "fu.exe" in order to defeat the auto-start feature. Turns out, update.exe is the main piece of Bandlab Assistant. It is the Squirel.

App no longer runs at startup. Bandlab launches without the need for the assistant.  Bandlab also migrated previous settings with no problems.
