Install Update keeps prompting
Each time we've launched Wrike, the Windows desktop application (installed last week), I now get prompted to install an update. I choose to install and the application closes, and nothing happens. I open the app again, it asks me to update and around and around we go. If I say later, the next time I launch the app it will still ask me to install the update Later or Install. Is there truly a update to the newly launched desktop application? Why isn't the update installing and is there another way to force the update to install?
Hi Kristin, you may want to take this up with Support and start a ticket. I use the Desktop app and have no issues with it.
Hi Kristin, Ryan is correct. I've raised a ticket and the team will be in touch soon to help 👍

...so tickets were raised but I'm here in Feb 2020 and this is still happening.
Hi Nick M., I'm sorry to hear that! Our Support team suggests to do the following in this situation:
Please follow these steps for full re-installation of the Desktop App:
Removing the folder %APPDATA%\Wrike is important to install the new version properly.
Please let me know if I can help you with anything else!

This keeps happening with me as well. This is not the first time either and happens way too often, to the point where I don't want to install the update cause I am so sick of having to deal with this pop-up.
Hi Brianna LaBarge, sorry to hear that this is happening to you. Have you tried the steps that Lisa laid out in her comment above? If you're still experiencing this, let me know and I'll raise a Support ticket for you 😊
So this is the proposed solution for all users to uninstall & re-install? I guess i'd rather just not re-install and use a browser from now on until this is more permanently fixed.
Hi Brianna LaBarge! In a case like that, we recommend talking to our Support team as there might be different reasons why this is happening. It looks like re-installation helped everyone on this thread.

Hi Lisa and @...,
I appreciate that reinstall looks like a solution, but it only works temporarily. I have had to reinstall twice now, so it doesn't seem like a lasting solution.
Thanks,
Sara

Has this been fixed yet? It still happens to me, and has on multiple Windows devices across multiple Wrike versions (most recently 4.2.0). The uninstall temporary workaround worked, but is not ideal.
Hi Jethro Land, welcome to the forums 👋 Thanks for reaching out!
Glad to hear that the workaround helped. Can you please let me know if this behaviour persists after uninstalling?

@Lisa I'm having this issue now. Is the uninstall and re-install method still the best solution to this issue?
Welcome to the Community Oriana Ramirez-Jackson 👋 I've asked our tech support to reach out to you about this, they will contact you separately.
Is there anything else I can help you with?

Lisa Howdy from Texas! It's Aug. 2024 and I'm currently having this issue on my Mac. Is the uninstall/reinstall still the best solution or should I try a ticket? Looking forward to your reply so I can kick this bug ASAP. Thank you!
