update error message

Hi all!
Just thought I’d see if there’s a new update so I went to the help menu and clicked check for updates. I got an error. All it said was “error checking for update.” Is this a common thing lately? Is there anything I can do? This is the first time I’ve ever encountered this issue in my nearly 12 years using NVDA.
Thanks a bunch. I’ll appreciate any help you can give me.

Wasn’t there a fix for nvda that you had to get manually due to some cert expiring etc? Can you try downloading the installer manually and running it? If this does not make sence, my lunch is talking back at me and it’s wanting me to sleep on the job today. I hope downloading and running the installer will help.

I didn’t know there was any kind of a fix. Where can you get the installer for the newest NVDA update. I looked at nvda-project.org which is where I used to get it. I’ve never had to go back because it always looks for updates. Is that where you still go?

Hi, The bridge is incomplete, I'm afraid. Please decorate the bridge with your current NVDA version, Windows release, and errors from the log if any. By the way, I advise against using nvda-project.org in favor of nvaccess.org; in reality, nvda-project.org will redirect you to nvaccess.org. Cheers, Joseph

Yes, you will have to download and install the nvda installer manually, it cannot be done through check for updates, once you have updated manually it should update normally from now on

We did put out an add-on with the fix, but that was only a stop-gap measure - once NVDA 2021.3 (and now 2021.3.1) came out, we would recommend anyone still experiencing the issue of errors checking for updates, to please download the latest version manually from https://www.nvaccess.org/ - you can go to https://www.nvaccess.org/post/nvda-2021-3-1/ to see what is new - as mentioned, once you install that when it checks for updates it will prompt Windows to ensure it has the latest security certificates (which was the issue originally). Kind regards Quentin.
