Stuck on "Checking for updates"

NG Extension Manager Stuck on "Checking for Updates"?

Is your NG Extension Manager spinning its wheels and stuck on "Checking for Updates"? Don't worry, it happens! Let's get it unstuck!

Try These Things!

1. Give it a Refresh!

   • Sometimes, the extension just needs a little nudge.
   • Type chrome://extensions into your Chrome address bar and press Enter.
   • Find the NG Extension Manager.
   • Try turning it off and back on again (or click the little circular arrow "Reload" button).

2. Reload the Page!

   • If that didn't work, try reloading the page where you're using the NG Extension Manager.
   • Press Ctrl + R (or Cmd + R on a Mac) on your keyboard.

3. Check Your Internet!

   • The NG Extension Manager needs the internet to check for updates.
   • Make sure you're connected to the internet and that it's working. Can you visit other websites?

4. Restart Chrome!

   • If it's still stuck, try restarting Chrome.
   • Close all your Chrome windows and then open Chrome again.

5. Look for Troublemakers!

   • Sometimes, other extensions can cause problems.
   • Try turning off any extensions you've added recently to see if that helps.

6. Try Again!

   • If nothing else works, try uninstalling the NG Extension Manager and then installing it again.

Why Does This Happen?

• Little Hiccups: Sometimes, extensions just get a little confused and need a refresh.
• Internet Problems: If your internet goes away while the extension is working, it can get stuck.
• Extension Friends (or Foes!): Sometimes, other extensions don't play nicely together.
