GameEX Arcade Edition 18.74 prompts for Update after launch

[OmniV5]

So there is another annoying issue that just started happening. GameEX Arcade prompts to update after launching, but will pause and exit if I try to run the update. The update seems to fail and just re-launches back to the splash screen. I am using Windows 11 it used to actually update but now it fails , same thing that has been happening on my cabinet

Please attach current copies of your gameex.ini and log.txt files when reporting an annoying issue. Thanks.

Thanks, a bit more than needed initally.

You left out the log.txt file from after the install error occured. Much needed.

BTW, I am able to replicate issues with the automated update, but was not aware of the issue as I normally download and perform an over the top installation. Old habit from back when update notifications were not a thing.

Oh Sorry here are the rest of files

I had to disable automatic updating in the program

As noted previously, as a workaround to keep up-to-date, you can download the fole directly and perform an "over the top" installation until @Tom Speirs can address the issue.
