Why do I have the message that I have the latest version installed?

Why is THAT in error and not the message that the update failed? That is my original question and one that is still not answered.

I cannot be the first one to experience this.

It would save everyone time if i can post a screen shot of the messages I see. Is this in any way possible?

Thank you for your reply. As usual in these cases, I may not have asked the question I wanted answered.

I have a message that my update failed. I also have a notice that I have the latest update and it indeed shows the latest version of WP is installed

The question is, which of these do I believe? Is this like a faulty car’s warning light? How else can you test whether I have the the latest version? To go through all the steps you kindly provide is, I’m afraid, a bit beyond my ken and error prone. I am especially reluctant to go this process if it is not necessary!

My website works perfectly and I am inclined to let well enough alone.

If you can provide any other info, then fine. In any case, thank you for your time once again.
