Description

Right now the only way to get an update to a client is to enable update check on start, great and all, but I and many others prefer to handle update checks on our own.

Only problem, there is no way to do this.

I would be great to add a button to check for updates or even if you go to the about section force an update check there.

Research direction

Start by locating the client update-check flow and the About section or other client UI entry point mentioned in the issue. Determine how an update check is triggered and where a manual control could fit; done means users can initiate an update check without enabling check-on-start.
