Studio updater "file used by another process" bug

The roblox studio update process is the #1 thing that makes me get up and walk away from my computer. Nothing sucks more than having 5 places opened and needing an asset, so you open a 6th only to have it kill all other processes. I hope this is eventually prioritized as it’s the worst part of the developer UX that nobody seems to care about. No other piece of software does this.

Rant aside, today’s update (developers have learned to expect the looming Wednesday shutdown) had a new dialog pop up.

We’re aware of the update process being aggravating, but the error you’re seeing is new to us & a separate issue. For the error, can you provide information from How to post a Bug Report (especially bootstrapper logs), so we can investigate further?

Also, separate from that, can you provide your OS version & attach a zip of your Studio install (the old one that isn’t updating)?
