this is a bug in the 2026.1008.190209 shell: the app files updated to 45608 but the shell itself never does, so the prompt keeps coming back. for now, installing the latest canary over your current install fixes it and keeps your data: https://pkgs.fluxer.com/desktop/canary/win32/x64/2026.1009.45608/setup (on a windows arm device, swap x64 for arm64 in the link). a fix so stuck installs update on their own is coming
Weirdly, I kept hitting the "check for updates" button on the taskbar icon, and I managed to update.
I am now on Canary Desktop 2026.1009.45608, so it looks like I managed to resolve the issue... somehow.
I guess it all works out? I'll still keep an eye in case this happens again. Thanks for being so quick about this!
