Updater: [Win IDE] "Check for updates" can say no update when clicked the first time after a new release is ready, despite ui.log saying an update was found

[sihammill]

Description

The IDE updater fails to state there is a new update when the menu option Help -> Check for updates is selected. On the 2nd attempt at checking for updates, updater correctly identifies there is a new update.

Looking at the ui.log entry below, it looks like the updater has identified there is an update but then fails to relay that to the user.
