If a Desktop Update Fails

If your desktop app fails to update, we first recommend re-installing the latest version: 

If you’re using a VPN or Firewall, it could be blocking the download from properly running. In this scenario, we recommend either:

  • Temporarily disabling the VPN/Firewall so the update can run
  • Add a rule to your settings allowing “github.com”
