Some of our users are indeed experiencing difficulties with updating their GOG GALAXY. Rest assured, the appropriate team is currently investigating the issue.
If you are one of the affected, please turn off GOG GALAXY completely, by going to the top left corner's cogwheel and pressing "Exit". Next please make sure that GOG GALAXY (or any related processes) aren't still running in the background (if so, close them by selecting "End task"). You can do this via Task Manager (use the combination of WIN key+R and type: taskmgr)
Next, please download the GOG GALAXY Webinstaller (the big DOWNLOAD button).
Lastly, please "install" GOG GALAXY by using the Webinstaller. This will make the installer update your GOG GALAXY and overwrite any possible damaged files.
Once you turn GOG GALAXY back on you should have the newest update available and no changes will be made to your games or library (you won't have to re-import the games etc.).

There was a patch note today that said this was fixed though I still get failure to update Galaxy when downloading it. Hopefully downloading a fresh copy fixes it.

Tried updating twice, failed. And they said they fixed this. Oh well, there's always the next update. At this rate, this version will be in beta for 20 more years...

I noticed in the changelog the "report a bug" option was removed. So now how is someone supposed to report a bug? A Vulcan mindmeld? Sending up smoke signals? The automated support chat bot is less helpful than a half-baked potato.

That 'report a bug' thing irritates me as well.
They said it would be come 'easier' to reach support, not a even bigger pain in the ass.

GOG seems to not want to hear about issues with the client, removing the ability to report a bug is very counter intuituve.

"Get support" and "Share feedback" are as self-explanatory as possible. The only issue is the chatbot, and for that you have your answer in the thread your started.
