        @siman Fix for me was turning off automatic update check for Dashboard page.
        System --> Update --> Update Settings
        then checking below
        Dashboard check [checked it to disable] Disable the Dashboard auto-update check

                            You tried resaving the repo branch as shown here?:

                                          It's in the system infomation widget on the dashboard or above the menu at the console. Or shown by running gnid at the CLI.
