When launching PTK for the first time, if the GitHub RSA key fingerprint has not been added to the authorized_hosts then the update check may wait silently for input. The (unreported) message is "The authenticity of host [...] can't be established. RSA key fingerprint is [...]. Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? and yes or no should be entered to proceed.
The problem is caused because git remote update cannot be run in a way that avoids this message, Matlab's system command swallows the output by default.
