Description

Since I am having the -22410 error and I heard the newest update might fix it, I've been trying to update my AltServer installation without success. Every time, when I click on "Check for Updates", a window pops up saying that there is a new version available. However, clicking on the update button or simply waiting a couple of seconds causes Altserver to crash and close everything(including the system tray icon). I tried reinstalling and repairing it but nothing changed. Is there a way to manually update it?

I'm on Windows 10 22H2

Research direction

The report identifies a crash in AltServer's Windows update flow when selecting "Check for Updates" or waiting for the update prompt, on Windows 10 22H2. No source file, test, or entry point is mentioned; start by reproducing the crash and tracing the update-window flow, then verify that updating no longer closes AltServer or its system-tray icon.
