Hi,

To resolve the error message when checking for updates to NVDA itself, try:

  1. Open Python Console (Control+NVDA+Z).
  2. Enter the following AS EXACTLY AS SHOWN:

import updateCheck; updateCheck._updateWindowsRootCertificates()

In order to verify that this issue is specific to NVDA 2021.2, please tell us which NVDA version you are using (please don't say "I'm using the latest version" because "latest version" can mean 2021.2, whatever version you might be using, or the latest alpha build). Thanks.

Cheers,

Joseph

Hi,

I think I know the forum mentioned... Please tell folks there that, in this case, downgrading may make things worse as the fix is unlikely to be backported to older releases.

Cheers,

Well I submitted the python fix of yesterday to the forum and this worked on my secondary network.

Saying that a lot on that forum, well some of them, aren't that smart, there are a loot of crack hackers but there are also a lot of kids or at least adults with kid brains that just do and say whatever.

I don't respond to much of it anymore.

Obviously that forum is where all the audiogame tests and stuff come from so I do have a presence on there, but there are people that look for trouble so I mostly keep it down.

Hello,
I applied the mentioned fix, and while the addon updater checks for
updates, and I believe NVDA does the same, they do not say there are
no updates. All I see in that case is a close button. I am able to
infer that there are no updates obviously, but from previous
experience wouldn't it say, "there are no updates"?

It said that for me after installing the 21.10 update to the updater.  I did the check for add-on updates and got that message.

When I checked for both add-on and NVDA updates, I got a message that none were available.  I’m using NVDA 2021.2.  I realized that I’d replied to the wrong thread last night when I indicated that I’d applied the python fix and installed the new add-on updater.  I don’t know if I was actually impacted in the way that some others were because I never received an error message, just the standard one saying that there were no updates.

Hi all,

Add-on Updater 21.10 is now being offered to Add-on Updater users. Note that if you still receive a message that says "error checking for add-on updates" when checking for add-on updates, you MUST install Add-on Updater 21.10 manually.

Cheers,

Joseph

Hi Joseph,

  After entering the line, it does work as usual. I'm working with NVDA2021.2.

  Thanks!

Hi.  I received the notification to roll back to Add-on Updater 2021.09 after manually updating to 2021.10 as instructed at the beginning of this thread.  I just closed the notification.
