Can't update Android Studio - only download

Question

I have not updated my Android Studio for a while and am presented with this dialog box when trying to update:

Usually there is an "update and restart" option, but not here. The only option is "Download" which directs me here where I can only download the entire bundle again which gives me a link for Build Number - 130.737825. As you can see that's before what I already have so I don't see how that would fix the problem?

I feel like I'm missing something blaringly obvious, but how can I just update like I have been able to before?

Answer 1

Try this :

Go to Help > Check for Update

and this worked for me - 1.0 to 1.1.

Answer 2

Check these steps.

1. First you can download latest zip file from the website.
2. Then unzip it Next remove the files inside the Android studio folder.
3. It will contain files same as the file in zip file.
4. Copy the files inside unzip folder and paste it to inside the Android studio folder

Answer 3

Click remind me later, then run the update process from the running Android Studio (help menu, as far as I remember).

Answer 4

I also had same issue. I updated my Android Studio from 1.3 to 1.5. Just by

File -> Settings -> Appearance & Behavior -> System Settings -> Updates

and Update & Restart button was back.

Answer 5

That means that the current version can not be automatically updated. You should download the new version manually.

Answer 6

If anybody uses Ubuntu and has the same problem....
For me, AS always crashed after the download of a patch was complete. Then I wanted to figure out what's going on by launching AS from the console to see the output (I have AS as icon in Dash menu and usually launch it from there). After launching AS from console I clicked the update popup again, it downloaded but suddenly, it did not crash anymore. Suddenly it asked me if I want to exit a running background process, I clicked "exit", AS installed the patch and rebooted (what is usually not working either).
