The url where electrum fetches the latest version is hardcoded:

https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/blob/a3e522efd968686a32cbf715e4ac91f531c5deca/electrum/gui/qt/update_checker.py#L22

Can you try opening https://electrum.org/version using your normal browser? You should be prompted to download the file 'version'. If you open this file using an ascii editor (like notepad++, vim,...) you should see a json string containing (amonst others) the current latest version.

If this doesn't work, you know what to investigate... If this works properly, the problem must be something else, for example: are you using the tor proxy?

Yeah I know I have last ver but I just want to know why i get update failed? When I was click (before) on check for updates I get message > you have last update.

I just use VPN not tor and I yea i have 3.3.8 ver
