I'm trying to update Android Studio 4.1.2 to 2020.3.1, update fails and suggest to read idea_updater.log. Here's the dialog box prompted during update:

enter image description here

The only relevant error I can found is this one:

it seems that it's unable to remove C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\jre\jre\bin folder since it's locked from another process.

At the moment the error dialog appear the folder cited above is empty (before update holds 55 files and 3 folders).

But AFAIK there are not other processes trying to use any resource in Android Studio while the update is running. Tried several times with the same result. Any hints? Should I remove Android Studio and try a fresh new install?

Download a fresh JRE and install it to another folder NOT below your android studio folder

for latest openJDK as of date (my favorite), download it here

restart windows in safe mode

delete the c:\program files\android\android studio\jre and its subfolders

restart windows to normal mode

run Android studio and pick the fresh JRE folder you've just installed

try the update again

I've not been able to find any lock on such folder. I needed to uninstall 4.1.2 and reinstall 2020.3.1 (everything worked).
