Update Service Unavailable

I’m getting a message that the Update Service is Unavailable when Check for updates under Help in both V6 and V7 WIP. However, when I click on Check now a screen opens to tell me a new update is available for downloading.

Check in Windows’ Task Manager that the McNeel Update service is active and running.

McNeelUpdate is now running and Check for updates is working as expected. No idea which happened earlier.
