It doesn't work for me either. It just sits there with "Autoupdate" greyed out next to each updateable item.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the latest version, but still no joy.
My build id is 5396e5acaa5d032d981a97f5063e9a1ca7e05fec
I tried clicking the checkbox off and on again and now the updates are hung in an "Updating" state.
My files are attached.
