Description

Keybase GUI Version: 5.1.1-20191211174240+15bbb94c23

Hey, I've received a notification for Keybase 5.2.0 update, for some reason it failed: I pressed "apply" but nothing happened.
After that, I was looking for "check for updates" and didn't find it (until now).
I think that "check for updates" button should be in "settings", not sure how exactly inside but maybe on "about Keybase" tab.

So there are 2 UX problems I would like to mention here:
1. the update failed for some reason, without any error message.
2. couldn't find "check for updates" until now

thank you :-)

Research direction

Review the Keybase GUI update flow and the settings or About Keybase locations where update controls are exposed. Confirm that users can find “check for updates” and that a failed update reports an error instead of doing nothing.
