Hi Guys,

I've got an installation of Umbraco CMS v7.11.0 which has recently started giving an error. It appears to have something to do with checking for updates. Was wondering if anyone else has encountered this, and if anyone knows what's causing it. Any info on this would be much appreciated.

The logger is - Umbraco.Web.Editors.UpdateCheckController

See below error that is being logged

    Unhandled controller exception occurred
