To see this for yourself, you could try:
Start Menu → System → Xfce Terminal
Then run:
torbrowser"
I tried updating TOR from Terminal without success.
“INFO: Done, downloaded: linux64-11.0.6_en-US.tar.xz
INFO: GPG signature verification… This will take a moment…
ERROR: GPG download signature could NOT be verified.
Tor Browser update failed! Try again later.”
I would rather not uninstall Whonix/Virtual box to get this to work since I have too much on my virtual box that I would like to keep.
So that would really be the last option. Any suggestions on how to fix this issue?
I tried the command from terminal, update-torbrowser.
Here is the full log;

Please close Tor Browser if you want to (re-)install!
If your currently installed version is:
higher: you are likely target of a downgrade attack, SAY NO NOW.*
equal : only proceed, if you want to create a new browser profile.*
lower : you should upgrade.*
If you would like to keep your browser profile and update rather than re-downloading Tor Browser, you must use Tor Browser’s internal updater. In that case, say no now.
This program (Tor Browser Downloader (by Whonix developers)) is incapable of keeping user data.

Had to remove some website addresses from the log in order to post.
