probe-desktop: error after start

[xhdix]

It seems due to the failure to check for updates!
Probe-Desktop v3.0.1
Windows 10
TCI ;)

It seems @sarathms is more qualified than me to triage this issue.

[sarathms]

This should be addressed by adding a autoUpdater.on('error', handleFn) in main/index.js. Thanks for reporting this @xhdix. I will make sure this is fixed in the next release.

You're welcome @sarathms !
Now, months after this report, it seems that at TCI (AS58224) they are detecting and blocking ElectronJS JA3. (This doesn't happen in MCI (AS197207).)

[sarathms]

As a longer term solution to this issue, we will be changing the auto-update provider to use something that is more resilient. This work is tracked in #1496

[sarathms]

For the short term, we now check for updates differently and are able to catch these errors and notify the unavailability of updates and request visiting our website to fetch the latest version.

Closing this issue for now. Thanks @xhdix for your time and patience.
