Auto update should be under the personalize in Exodus desktop version 24.2.12 but its not there. All I got is
set currency
portfolio
advanced wallet mode
colors
textures
skins
I don't use Exodus wallet and don't know of its issues in a latest version but I know one thing which is vital so I would like to inform you about it.
Exodus wallet is Close Source which is not safe and not recommended to use.
The recommendation is choosing and using Open Source and Non Custodial wallets. Exodus is only non custodial but not open source.
