I had clicked on about -- I don't see button to check for updates. & IIRC in the past just opening the app would trigger an update. But I see @Jonny Quest has the same version as me. oh well.

And when I had updated to the next build from where were at, it wouldn't connect to a server. I started the notebook, restarted it, uninstalled it, reinstalled it, still wouldn't connect and went back to 4.1.10 which works. I was waiting for this newer build that was posted today, and maybe I'll give that one a try (uninstalling this version).I had clicked on about -- I don't see button to check for updates. & IIRC in the past just opening the app would trigger an update.

Nuts. I'm on the newest version now, I installed over top instead of waiting for the update, I thought clicking on "about" triggered an update check in the previous version, maybe my Alzheimer's is kicking in again.I had clicked on about -- I don't see button to check for updates. & IIRC in the past just opening the app would trigger an update.

@simmerskool I was able to get 4.1.12 up and running. I uninstalled our previous version, did a restart and deleted the one empty Proton VPN folder in App Data/ Local (I didn't do a Everything search). I cleaned out the temp and %temp% files, deleted the Recycle bin files, than maybe unnecessary (and not recommended?), but I ran the installer as Admin. Finished the set up routine, and it looks good

Although the screenshot shows your VPN IP, you always avoid showing it because the post is public, so this way you preserve your privacy and security.Yes

Done, thank you, friendAlthough the screenshot shows your VPN IP, you always blur it out and show it to everyone, the forum is public, so you maintain your privacy and security.
Installed over the top. No problems, installation was slow but eventually installed, though I have security software such as WDAC & H_C which is probably to blame for the slowness.

for my clarification, did this update start automatically and install over the top of the previous, or did you download the update and install it over the top? I just opened Proton VPN again and the About still says Current version 4.1.10 -- there's no mention of a newer version. now is 01 May 0630 utc.
Downloaded direct from protonvpn.com and installed over the top. The internal updater is buggy in ProtonVPN app, always has been even in the version before the major GUI update..
