Software not updating automatically
Check the auto-update setting is actually enabled in the software. Check internet connection is working. Check antivirus isn't blocking updates.
Auto-updates fail because the setting is disabled, internet connection is offline, antivirus is blocking, disk space is low, or the software crashes during install. Enable the setting, check connectivity, disable antivirus temporarily to test, make sure disk space, or manually update.
