Server Version#: 1.24.4.5081

Hello,

The current version of my server is 1.24.4.5081 (Windows 10)

When I go to the server settings, I use the “Search for Updates” button, it tells me that the server is up to date.

However, the latest version available is 1.24.5.5160

There are now 2 versions where the update search function does not work. I have to download and install it manually.

Thank you in advance for your help.

That is only half-true.  
This version number is a beta version.

The latest “public” version is still 1.24.4.5081

If you want your server to automatically download beta software versions  
(you need to understand the implications of that, before taking the plunge),  
you need to configure it accordingly:
