Hi @PRED263! I'm Dosu and I’m helping the ytmdesktop2 team.

The update button and popup use inter-process communication (IPC) to trigger update checks and display dialogs, with the backend managed by the UpdateProvider class and electron-updater. The code for these features appears robust and modular, so the most likely causes for your issue are environmental—such as a problem reaching the update server, Windows permissions, or a glitch in the IPC bridge between the UI and backend cite.

Try these steps: check your network connection, run the app as administrator, and see if any error messages appear in the app logs when you click the update button. If the update feature still doesn’t work, you can manually download the latest release from the official source and reinstall. If you can share any error logs or messages, I can help interpret them!

To reply, just mention @dosu.

Heyy @dosu,
i did as you instructed and check the app logs using the event views and the button didnt log/call the computer for anything, i think as you suggested it might be an environment failure.

I shall download the Latest version from the website then,
Thank you for the response.
