My launcher won't update

[Magmasite]

My launcher won't update to it's newest version and that's maybe (i'm no sure) having an affect on which mods i can play and if theres something wrong with some of them, for example of Fuherreich or old world blues the map wont load the countries will just change colours, and since i'm no using windows and all of the guides are for windows i don't know how to fix it and more and more mods keep getting messed up. If anyone knows please help

My Launcher works, but doesn't update anymore, and hasn't for a while. Win10. Can anybody help?

Please try this:

- exit the Steam app entirely
- uninstall Paradox Launcher v2 from the Windows "Apps and features" utility, if still present.

Delete the following folders if still present:

- C:/users/<UserName>/AppData/Local/Programs/Paradox Interactive/
- C:/users/<UserName>/AppData/Local/Paradox Interactive/
- C:/users/<UserName>/AppData/Roaming/Paradox Interactive/launcher-v2/
To see the AppData folder you'll need to enable View Hidden Items in File Explorer.

- run steam.exe as the Windows Admin user

- run the game from the PLAY button in Steam

IF that doesn't help, in this folder are some .log files:
C:/users/<UserName>/AppData/Local/Paradox Interactive/launcher-v2/
Please attach them here.

I also had the same problem, the launcher did not update automatically, it remained at version 2020.4 downloaded automatically when launching the game.

After trying everything, in particular the recommendations of the Paradox support moderator but also many other actions..., the problem actually came from my Windows Defender firewall under W10pro, by disabling it or adding the "launcher.exe" file in the exceptions / permissions of the firewall, the update was finally able to be done !
