Brief summary

When NVDA is configured to update add-ons without notification, add-ons aren't updated.

Steps to reproduce

1. Go to NVDA`s menu, Preferences submenu, Settings, Add-on store, and form Automatic updates, ensure that Update automatically is the active option.
2. Restart NVDA.
3. Wait until the message informing that add-ons are been updated is shown.

Actual behavior

• NVDA reports that add-ons are been updated.
• A message asking to restart NVDA is not presented, and add-ons aren't updated.

The log shows the current information:
