Windows 10 update isn't working due to new version is not signed by the application owner

• Version: 20.27.1

NSIS

• Target: NSIS

Hello! Recently, people who use my application on Windows 10 have their auto update stopped working, for a couple of days I could not figure out what could be the problem until the update logs had an error that there was no signature certificate. There are no problems with updating on windows 7 and there were no problems with windows 10 until this couple of days.

@meekaah Not quite, but I managed to solve auto-update problem with "verifyUpdateCodeSignature": false, but download progress is still very buggy it sometimes works and sometimes it doesnt.
