@nc50lc Try to change your DNS to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 then update here if it solves your issue.
I was using Cloudflare's DNS prior, then changed to Google's, restarted the router and the issue still persists. Based from other's replies, I think this is an issue with my and OP's ISP, router, PC or other network setting; not Electrum.
@StrongCore I'll post it here if I found the issue.
It is recommended to download Electrum software from the official site anyways so why the need to check for updates from within the wallet? 3.3.8 is the latest version, if you want to check if there is an update just visit the official site or their github and get the info from there.
I hope it never gets fixed, that way we will use the official sources to check what is new.
just using original site > https://electrum.org/ to download it and I like to check Manual i have last ver or not.
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
It might be because of your VPN that is why you are getting update fail/error.
How about trying to disable the VPN to test it might be blocking your Electrum from requesting on Electrum server that is why you are getting update failed. So disabling VPN might solve your issue.
I was using more then vpn before and was working fine and this same vpn what i use now was working fine with it. I will try without vpn and reply again later
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.
If you do not want to receive any update notification, you can disable it in the settings. Click "Tools"->"Preferences"->Click "General" Tab-> and disable "Automatically check for software updates".
No no, I check that Manual and I started to get this error in this month. Idk why?!

Yes, back in the days, I used it (few times). It used to be good (on that time) but in the long run, it turned out to be a bad option for exchanging coins (due to amount of recent complaints, simple search on "Scam Accusations" section would give you the whole picture).
