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?

Just thought I'd add some hopefully helpful info, if you have a Windows PC and Chrome as your browser you can install webpages as desktop apps. All this does is open a webpage that looks like a desktop app, but it seems to work decently for me.

In Chrome, navigate to the Wrike page you want to be your default when you open the app, click the 3-dot button on the top right of the browser, go to "Cast, save, and share", then click "Install page as app...". This will install a Wrike app to your PC that works like the webpage but presents itself as a desktop app.

I am sure there are other ways to do this, but this is the only way I have tested. I believe Edge also has this functionality.

Tested on Window 10, Chrome Version 135.0.7049.97.
