Updates

Updates

The Desktop Client updates itself automatically. You do not need to do anything. In detail:

How updating works

  1. At startup and every hour, the app checks whether a new version is available.
  2. If so, it downloads the update in the background — you will not notice.
  3. When the download is complete, you receive a notification: "A new version is ready to install."
  4. You choose:
    • Install now — the app restarts, is open again after 5–10 seconds, and the new version is active.
    • Later — the update is installed automatically the next time the app restarts.

Checking the version number

Main window → profile (avatar) → About aYOUne shows the current version. It is also shown in the tray icon tooltip.

Reading the release notes

With every update you get a short summary of the changes. To read more: main window → Help → Release notes shows the last 10 versions with the full list of changes, new features and bug fixes.

Checking for updates manually

If you do not want to wait:

Main window → profile → About aYOUne → Check for updates.

If an update is available, the download starts immediately, and once it is finished you are offered a restart.

Postponing an update

If you are in an important call or a sync is running, you can postpone the update:

Notification → Later.

You will be asked again the next time the app restarts, or after 24 hours at the latest.

Turning updates off

We do not recommend this, because security updates will not be installed. If necessary:

Settings → Updates → Automatic updates: off.

You can then check manually (see above) and receive a reminder every 7 days. The reminder cannot be turned off permanently.

Beta versions

If you want to try new features earlier:

Settings → Updates → Update channel:

  • Stable (default) — tested versions
  • Beta — new features 1–2 weeks earlier than Stable, occasionally with minor bugs

Switching to Beta does not require a restart, but the next update will come from the Beta channel.

Update failed

If the update fails during installation (for example because the app is still running or antivirus software blocks it):

  1. Close the app completely, including the tray icon (right-click → Quit).
  2. Start it again — at startup the app retries the update.
  3. If it fails again: main window → Help → Diagnostics → view the update error, or contact support with the diagnostics code.

In persistent cases a reinstall can help: download the installer of the latest version from the download page and install it over the existing one — your data and settings are kept.

- First, in two sentences: what is this about?
- Then the steps in the order I need to take them.
- One line per step, in plain language.
- At the end: what I should have ready beforehand.

Leave out nothing I need in order to actually finish.

Explain to me what I need this for.

1. Which problem does it solve? In one sentence, from my point of view.
2. Three typical situations in which it genuinely helps me.
3. When I do NOT need it — that saves me time.
4. What I can do instead if it is not a fit.

Stick to what the source says. Where it gives nothing, say so openly instead
of guessing.

Walk me through the setup step by step.

- First tell me what I need to have ready (access, data, time).
- Then take me through ONE step at a time. Wait for my "next".
- For each step, say how I can tell that it worked.
- If something goes wrong, ask me for the exact message instead of guessing.

If the instructions leave a point open, tell me so rather than inventing it.

Help me narrow down a problem.

- First ask me what I observe and what I expected instead.
- From that, derive the most likely causes consistent with this source.
- For each cause, give me ONE test that confirms or rules it out.
- Order them so the cheapest test comes first.

Do not guess. If the source does not cover the problem, tell me where I should
look next.

Explain the content so that someone without prior knowledge understands it.

- Start with the purpose: why does this exist at all?
- Explain technical terms in half a sentence on first use.
- One everyday comparison where it genuinely holds — none where it limps.
- At the end: the three things worth remembering.

Do not shorten by dropping conditions. A simplification that hides a
prerequisite is a false statement.

Turn this into a **tick-off checklist** for practical use.

- Exactly one action per item, in the imperative.
- Order it so that no item depends on a later prerequisite.
- Prerequisites and pitfalls as indented sub-items.
- End with an acceptance step: how do I know everything is right?
