Description:
I tried to check for updates in the help tab because I'm encountering crashes. this is the log from checking for updates: 

17:41:03 [ERR][       pymforms]: Unhandled exception in Python code: 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Workbench 8.0\modules\wb_utils_grt.py", line 725, in checkForUpdatesCallback
    if self.isAlive():
       ^^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: 'CheckForUpdateThread' object has no attribute 'isAlive'

How to repeat:
click the help tab and select check for updates.

Is there a way a student can access help desc if needed? I will pay if I have to. I really need to be up and running.
