3.0.7 version update not available via Help | About GitHub Desktop

See original GitHub issue

The problem

I have GitHub Destop 3.0.6 x64 installed on Win11. I noticed yesterday in Stable Release Notes that v3.0.7 was released. I confirmed the above by going to https://desktop.github.com/ and downloading latest ‘GitHubDesktopSetup-x64.exe’ the version of which is 3.0.7.0 .

The issue is that when I go to: Help | About GitHub Desktop, there’s no prompt to update to 3.0.7.

Release version

3.0.6

Operating system

Windows 11

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Go to: Help | About GitHub Desktop
Click “Check for Updates”
You’ll see “You have the latest version (last checked just now)”.

Hi @darkred !

This is normal as we started rolling out releases slowly, so in case we made a mistake and introduced a regression, we don’t spread it too quickly.

Right now it’s deployed to 50% of users (probably gonna increase it to 100% today). In the future, if you want to force an upgrade, you can press <kbd>Alt</kbd> on your keyboard and the Check for Updates button will change:
