I’m on Mac too, and I just did this yesterday and it worked for me.

You said “Y” to troubleshooting. Did you try disabling snippets and plugins? (Not restricted mode of course, but just turning them off?)

And if that’s a pain to turn them back and on to your previous state, maybe try on a duplicate vault?

(I have installer 1.12.4 so I’ll install 1.12.7 in case it’s the installer, and check back.)

I don’t see another BR here, but it’s a 1.13.x issue.

It’s been brought up in the insider-desktop-release channel on Discord.

4

it’s a bit of a strange one- around 5 or 10% of the time the button change will actually work

most of the time however it does not. switching to another tab in the settings panel eg Core plugins, and then back to community plug-ins causes it to change status and “update all” becomes visible

5

If you scroll down the list to a plugin that needs updating, hit the Update button for that one plugin, the main Check for updates at the top should flip to Update all (for that one session in the Settings window).

6

@ariehen yes I think that’s true. Is that the expected behavior?

7

No. Just a workaround for now. Clicking/tapping Check for updates should flip to Update all after the check is complete so you can update them all with one click.

ETA unknown, but I imagine it will be fixed in one of the upcoming patches before the release goes public.
