Thanks for that, yes, we can see the screenshot.
So, just to be sure, when you click on Update&Restart, it restarts the app and the notification appears again?
You don’t see any other error messages, right?

Ok, we have some follow-up questions for you. :)

How are you loading the beta? Did you download a beta app from somewhere, or were you on a stable app and switched to the beta release channel in the app’s settings?

Thanks, https://apps.wordpress.com/desktop/ should only give the latest stable release. Can you let us know what steps you used to switch that to Beta?

Are you for real?

That was years ago. The very first time

Look how long I have been a wordpress member

ANCIENT HISTORY

I set the stable ver to beta because I want to.

Let me click on the god damned button to god damned upgrade and finish the install. From the auto note.

It is not working

The beta now is set to auto note beta upgrade.

Let’s not be stupid I have no more patience

I set the stable ver to beta because I want to.

So you changed it using the app settings? That is all we wanted to know – whether you installed the stable app first and then switched it to beta, or whether you downloaded a beta version directly from GitHub.

Please try switching back to the stable version, and then let the app auto-update. Let us know if that makes any difference.
