However when I click on the Download button it opens a web page to re-download the whole program instead of updating it. It's a bit confusing because it's a minor update.

This issue was fixed by Google (10 February 2022).

You can now update Android Studio normally.

Thank you all for helping to bring this problem to Google's attention.

Download and install JetBrains Toolbox. Android studio patch update will show in the toolbox list. Update through this. Hope its helpful.

As written in the issuetracker (217880288):

Workaround: delete manually only the "C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio"-folder and then install AS again. All your preferences will be restored because they are saved in your profile folder.

This worked for me. However I for my part only renamed the old Android Studio folder and will keep it for a few Versions just to be have it in case of problems - but I didn't notice any problems yet.

P.S.: I readded the folder as exclusion from Antivirus, even if I do not remember well if this is still helping performance.

P.P.S.: Before I also tried the JetBrains Toolbox way to update AS, it said it installed the patch - however I still got the messages afterwards and it was still using old gradle.
