Hello @f14tomcat & all:
Maybe you could keep in the back of your mind, an MBST-Gather, during the incident, might be able to catch something for the devs. On the other hand, it might have been a lone occurrence.
Cheers

Getting updated Malwarebytes versions is usually hit or miss for me. I'll get each new one on all my systems eventually, but often fail no matter how many times I check for updates. Of course I could go to their site and download the install file, but it's not all that pressing. Just a bit strange that they seem to be doling version updates out arbitrarily. It's 3 of my systems with 4.4.3 and 2 still on 4.4.2 and reporting "Malwarebytes is up to date" so far.
The company has program updates pushed through the normal updater (the one that checks for database updates) metered in such a way that it is throttled so not every user is offered the new build once it has been released, so it becomes a matter of probability and is somewhat random. This means that you might be offered it early, or it might take a really long time before it is offered to you, it just all depends. Basically a luck-of-the-draw kind of deal.
But if you wish to avoid the wait you may open Malwarebytes and navigate to Settings and click on the Install Application Updates button and the new version should be downloaded and offered to you to install or you may download and install it manually from here if you prefer.
