Can Not receive Updates

I was using VRT 2.4, It could not update, message said check Internet connection. Nothing wrong with connection I downloaded the latest version, and uninstalled 2.4, installed new version. Still get the same message.

I notice several other messages for the same problem, none have any replies.

Is there something wrong with your system that doesn't connect properly for updates.?

Still the same next day, this is a screenshot of the message I get.

Does anyone know why this is happening.?
