You can't trigger the automatic update--going to File, check for update only
gets you definitions, not new code. (There are new definitions--5781,
fwiw.)
If you aren't behind a known caching server (some ISP's run caching servers,
I believe) then the best bet would be to go to a reputable third-party site,
I think. I'm not sure even that will work around an ISP cache.
Hmm--download.com is still showing the old version.
Tucows has something dated in February--surely that's expired by now!
Here--this should be good:

Let me know if this works--I believe the issues are outside your machine,
but maybe I'm wrong!
