Docker Desktop does not find any updates

[jwallenstein]

Bug report

mein docker desktop findet keine updates mehr.
ich habe 4.80, 4.81, 4.82, 4.83, 4.84, 4.85 manuell upgedatet.
ich befürchte, das die 4.86.0 auch nicht automatisch erkannt wird.
was kann das sein?
der docker startet meine container ohne fehler.

im notification bekomme ich immer wieder eine fehlermeldung:

"An unexpected error occured while updating Restart Docker Desktop to try again."

Ich habe es durchgestartet.

Die fehlermeldung ist wieder da.

was kann das sein?
ist es möglich, das desktop sucht updates in einem falschen repository.
wo kann ich die eingestellte such repository sehen?

wo kann man die richtigen URL sehen?

bitte um hilfe

I have also noticed this, and it is frustrating. My guess that it is some sort of phased rollout, but it is badly implemented. A manual trigger of an update request to the server should always return the updated version and never be gate it by a phased rollout. Phased rollouts is for automatic background checks.

I uninstalled the old version 4.85.0, including the local config directory and files.
After rebooting, I reinstalled and reconfigured version 4.85.0 once more.

This operation didn't help.
The latest version, 4.86.0, isn't being detected either.

When do you plan to fix this bug?

[jwallenstein]

After reinstallation this error notice does not vanisch.
