App Version

When I launch Comfyui Desktop (I'm still on version 0.8.15), a notification appears saying that a new version is available. I click the “Install update on next launch” option, close Comfyui, and restart it. It launches normally, but the update isn't installed. The notification that a new version is available appears again, and I click the same option as mentioned above. Then I restart it again, and nothing happens. I’ve done this a total of three times, without success. On the fourth startup, the update notification no longer appeared; manually checking via Help/Check for Updates reports that no update is available—which is, of course, nonsense.
What can I do to get the update to install?
