It does sound strange. What version of Albyhub currently?

Is it on x86 or aarch64(ARM) machine?

If the latter, in case you're running a Debian/Ubuntu on a Pi or similar ARM, and you can stomach some shell scripting, find below a script that automatically updates to the latest from github. Depends on gnupg and jq (json parser). Every time you run the update, you must log in to unlock the wallet.

However, Settings > Auto Unlock is now a feature. Best only use it on baremetal, which is your case. The password is stored in the local machine WITHOUT encryption, so anybody with access to that machine could potentially steal all your funds.
