Jdownloader says there is an update available but when I try to update I get the following error...

org.jdownloader.update.SelfUpdateException: Selftest has been terminated unexpectedly

Can you help?

Something kills the update.
Try the following. Close JDownloader and delete the file Core.jar and the folders 'tmp' and 'update' and start JDownloader again.
In case it still does not work, please make sure your firewall/av have JDownloader excluded.
For example recently many similiar reports with avast av causing the issue

Thanks for that. All working now. It was Avast Av - they have added a new Behaviour Shield module - Jdownloader needs to be added to the exceptions in that module and then everything is fine

Maybe you could provide some screenshot how to setup it That would be nice for us and for sure help others

Thanks for the feedback!
