Checking for Google Play System Updates has been broken for a few days now, and it's still not exactly clear why. I see some strange logs from the Google Play Store when I manually enable and launch the activity, suggesting this is a bug. pic.twitter.com/TC0mS7XuUO

He manually ran that page and crashed right after the launch, as the option from the menu won’t respond to your tap.

However, with a recent Google Play Store build – 31.9.20, the Android maker has addressed and removed this bug and brought back the check for updates feature to its actual behavior.

As you can see in the tweet below, the feature is working fine without any previous crashes or unidentified launch activity.

Issue:

This was quite a bug that has been resolved as the problem doesn’t remain limited to the stock Android users and expanded further with the likes of Samsung, OnePlus, Xiaomi, and other Android phone makers.

If you have an Android device, then we suggest you check for the latest Play Store version or download it directly from here (Google Play Store 31.9.20).

If you want to check for the Play System updates, then head towards the settings menu and then search for “Google Play system update” tap on that and proceed with the on screen instructions. Such issues occur during the software upgrade process and consumer feedback is essential to resolve them before they affect the device’s performance.
