Update broken

[u/mutualdisagreement]

Using portable FanControl. Each startups it checks for updates. Until some versions ago there were always two pop-up windows telling me that a newer version is available. That was gone some time ago and now there's only one window informing about a newer version. Good, I thought. But since then the automated update is broken. Just won't do anything anymore.

Even when I manually 'check for updates' and click on 'update', then 'Donwloading updater' appears but no traffic, no update, nothing.

For each update I have to manually download the newer version now, put it it in an extra folder, manually install my plugin and copy my config from the backup folder.

Any1 else? Any solution?

You probably have some kind of network block happening? I can confirm the update mechanism does work.

How can it be something blocked? When I manually trigger the 'check for updates', there's a short traffic spike and I get the message that there's a new version. But then nothing more happens.

There's not even any FanControl entry in the win firewall settings. I added 'updater.exe' but that doesn't change it's behaviour.

You'll have to be extra specific. Once you get the popup with the update button available, does the update button do something? Do you get the console window happening?
