Bug Report: Update check fails with Error 6 (0x803D0006) due to unresolved 'ServerAddress' placeholder in v2026.7.11258

[dzadelis]

NTLite Version: v2026.7.11258 x64
Host OS: Windows 11 Enterprise 25H2 x64 (Standard Retail Installation, Windows Update fully enabled)
Description:
There is a hardcoded glitch in the update check mechanism of the latest build (v2026.7.11258). When trying to check for available updates, the application throws a timeout error: Error 6 (0x803D0006).
According to the internal application logs, the software is failing to resolve the update API endpoint because a string placeholder variable ('ServerAddress') was accidentally left in the production code instead of the actual server URL.
Log Snippet:

Checking for updates
SP
Error 6 (0x803D0006)
There was an error communicating with the endpoint at 'ServerAddress'.
The operation timed out

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Launch NTLite v2026.7.11258 x64 as Administrator.
2. Click on "Check for updates" (or let the automatic update queue run).
3. The process hangs for a few seconds and returns Error 0x803D0006.

Current Workaround:
Downgrading back to the previous stable version (v2026.6.11222.0) completely resolves the issue, and the update check functions perfectly under the exact same network conditions and host OS.
Please push a hotfix to replace the 'ServerAddress' placeholder with the correct URL string.

Thank you!

Hello everyone,
For the past few weeks, NTLite updates haven't been working, whereas previously there were no issues.
I have cleared the cache.
I am using version NtLite 2026.6.11222, which I installed myself.
Thanks for your help.

If the problem is unexpected and persists, please manually check for updates on the official website and try the new version.
