            @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

                      @yon-0 I recieved this same error.

                      The fix for me was still turning off automatic update check for Dashboard page.
                      System --> Update --> Update Settings
                      then checking below
                      Dashboard check [checked to disable] Disable the Dashboard auto-update check
