Today (17 August 2026) I noticed that I couldn’t update Obsidian through Preferences > Check for updates. After clicking the button, the semi-circle kept spinning endlessly inside this button.
I was on Obsidian 1.13.4 on macOS Tahoe 26.6.1. After a few tries, I downloaded a new version (1.13.7) from Obsidian’s website. Same issue. Restarted my Mac, but that didn’t help.
I haven’t seen this issue before, with previous versions of Obsidian.
