Failed to check for updates, error: 5

Hey, so a couple days ago I was running a game sandboxed when suddenly a message popped up saying "Failed to check for updates, error 5". I opened sandboxie and yeah the error was there. Later the error disappeared and I thought that it fixed by itself, but today when I opened sandboxie the error showed up again. Besides that error, I haven't had any other problem with sandboxie.
Does someone knows how to fix this? or do I have to reinstall sandboxie? (I have windows 10)

This is usually an issue with the update server, even though I don't know what the error code stands for.

Right now, you are running the latest version of Sandboxie anyway. If the problem does not go away, disable the update check temporarily and check the releases on GitHub, and when version 1.16.3 is released, install that over the current version and re-enable the update check.

New releases are also announced in this forum.
