Can you try to restart, then see if the app updates? May not help on macOS but restarting twice allowed me to update it on Windows. Related: #1663 |

Restarting twice has not made a difference. |

I've been experiencing the exact same problem for a few months now. I have to manually update. |

Is there a log somewhere that I can check to see what's happening or not happening? |

Same problem on macOS, the app stopped updating some time ago. |

Yeah, same problem... I fondly remember the early days of computing history when one could manually issue commands to computers. You would press a button, such as "Update Now", and the app would just show a progress bar until it had completed the task. |

hello @haflaxa and @moughxyz! Is fixing this bug in your roadmap? It is really a painful user experience to download manually the new update. Thanks a lot in advance for your answer! |

hey @effieeee, your reference to track this issue is this issue itself (#1714), which you tagged as completed :/ |

Ah whoops, my bad. I was completing the duplicates and I must have closed this by mistake 🙏 |

Weird, I'm still able to get the auto-update to work by restarting (and not once but twice). Just did it today, from v3.23.83 to v.3.23.193. I wonder if this is some strange Electron issue, like when it was leaving old installers on the filesystem. |

Still not working on macOS Monterey (v.12.6). I had to manually update to Standard Notes (v.3.23.193) |

I'm not sure what's happened in this arena, but automatic updates have been working for me for a bit now again. It does definitely take time, but if I leave the app open it'll work. This is a new installation on a new MacBook Pro. |

I'm still seeing this issue. Yes, I've restarted several times in a row. StandardNotes is running pretty much 24/7 on my macOS 13.4 system. Reports on this site go back nearly a year, and I've seen it reported on social media (Reddit). This is a real, reproducible, active bug with significant security implications yet it's been changed from an "issue" to a "discussion" without any explanation, implying there's no intention to address it. I've been a SN user and subscriber since the beginning, and I don't understand why the usually-excellent team is taking a "It works on my my machine" attitude with regard to this serious flaw. 
Can someone explain why it's being ignored? If you need more data, I can probably provide it. |

Last I saw they were just moving a lot of stuff to discussions, nothing to do with ignoring or not ignoring issues. SN has had many outstanding issues persist for years and like many projects they prioritize certain issues over others. Seems like this one just isn't as popular so we are stuck for now. |

"Popular" or not, SN bills itself as security and privacy focused, so leaving a bug in place which will cause a lot of people to run out-of-date versions of the software (potentially with vulnerabilities) seems like a decision that should, at the very least, merit evidence of some kind of discussion as to why it's not being addressed. Moving it out of active issues with no mention of their intentions just seems rather cavalier. |

Definite +1 to this issue. Doesn't work on windows or Mac for me. Would be a nice workaround to at least have a button that lets you manually update the version in the app. |

Since updating to v3.169 and later, I've noticed that the auto update works more consistently on my end, though the downloaded updates still need to be installed manually. After the app is left open for a little while, I see the "New update available" notice on the lower right, and I can install the pending update under Update > Install Pending Update
Is this still not the case on your end? |

I'm on 3.169.33 and it reports that 3.172.1 is available, but there is no option to install it on macOS; no "Install Pending Update" item. Thus far, I have yet to see any auto-update action: I installed 3.169.33 manually via the usual multi-step, many-clicks procedure some weeks ago. |

I'm on Intel, and I don't get the "Install Pending Update" notification either. |

I am a paying customer and the app could never auto-update itself since 3.194.13 |

Uh oh!
There was an error while loading. Please reload this page.

Experiencing this with the mac app. Auto-update will show that an update is available, but the app will never actually download and install the update, no matter how long I leave the app open. The "Enable Automatic Updates" option is checked. I wish there was an option in the menu to make it go ahead and install the update now.
