You can read more about it in the release post \u00bb<a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/news\/2018\/02\/wordpress-4-9-3-maintenance-release\/\">WordPress 4.9.3 Maintenance Release<\/a>\u00ab by Sergey Biryukov.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One day later, WordPress 4.9.4 went live. The reason for that is that 4.9.3 introduced a bug that prevents the auto-update feature to work. That is fixed with 4.9.4, but you have to start the update manually. Otherwise, you will not get future auto-updates. More about that in the post \u00bb<a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/news\/2018\/02\/wordpress-4-9-4-maintenance-release\/\">WordPress 4.9.4 Maintenance Release<\/a>\u00ab by Dion Hulse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the technical side, the bug caused a Fatal Error when WordPress tried to update itself because not all requirements for of <code class=\"lang-php\">find_core_auto_update()<\/code> were met.
