Why do I have a "downgrade available" notification?

For a long time I just let Vortex install updates. I see a notification there's an update, and I restart Vortex to install it. I don't remember the last time I changed any of my settings, other than what I see on the Dashboard. Probably been years.

A week ago, as normal, I let Vortex install v. 1.12.6. Yesterday I booted up my computer and Vortex where I saw a "downgrade available" message and don't really understand why I'm getting it. And I can't just dismiss it. It just lurks under the bell. The Downgrade Warning says that my version of Vortex is newer than the one online - really? I did not downgrade, for the record.

Am I missing something or is this a glitch I need to report?

I can still load up my game. Other than annoying me it doesn't appear to be doing anything. I'm attaching a picture of the notification and the more info. Thank you.

It's not a bug. It is a beta version of Vortex. The devs set it up as a "downgrade" so that you have to manually opt-in to download the beta. Normal updates to Vortex are downloaded automatically, but for beta versions they do it like this so that you only get the update if you actively select to download it.

This is somewhat similar to what Mod Organizer 2 tells me about 200+ of the 1600+ mods I have for Skyrim SE/AE.  A lot of the update warnings for those mods tell me to download an earlier version for no actual real reason whatsoever lol.  A bug in the program.
