In the AMD Catalyst software, as I remember in the past, for desktop graphic card there is an "update" option in the program itself. Now the "update" option is no longer present.

Yes...that is correct. It was removed for security reasons.

Security reasons? It was convenient to check whether there is an update through the app.

Now you have to do it manually...it's not too difficult, you just click "CHECK FOR DRIVER UPDATES".

This probably is a dumb question but where in CCC is this option now located? I cannot seem to find anything regarding checking for driver updates since I updated to 13.1.

As Han Solo would say, "Thats what I'm trying to tell you, kid. It ain't there. It's been totally blown away." That's where the check for updates used to be located prior to installing 13.1, but there's no sign of it now. Items under "Information" are "AMD Home" (which displays images for games and settings for allowing web content and showing the page on startup, that's it), "Software" (which displays driver info), and "Hardware" (which displays graphics card info). I cannot see any options under any of those three items where one can check for updates. Guess I'll try reinstalling and see if that fixes things.

A-ha! So apparently disabling "Allow Web content" is required in order to be able to see the options for driver updates. When it is enabled for me (which is the default setting), all I get are ads for games like Far Cry 3, Dirt Showdown, etc. as shown below. Disabling web content is the answer then. Weird that it cannot be displayed any other way. Thanks for the help!
Edit: apparently I cannot paste the image in here, but try selecting and deselecting that web content option and you'll see what I mean.
