Windows updates no longer fail with "Error opening file for writing". The installer hook meant to stop the running backend never terminated anything: Tauri ships a 32-bit NSIS installer, so its PowerShell ran under WOW64, where `Get-Process` reports an empty path for every 64-bit process — the filter matched no sidecar on any x64 machine. The installer then wrote over an executable the detached Hub daemon still held open, which is why updating from 0.0.25 through 0.0.28 failed exactly as 0.0.24 did. The installer now asks the Windows Restart Manager which processes hold this install's files and shuts those down; that is bitness-independent, covers the connector processes the Hub spawns, and leaves a side-by-side Cline Beta alone.

If Restart Manager itself fails you get a Retry/Cancel prompt rather than a half-replaced install On Windows, Cline no longer runs a program out of your workspace when it means to run the system one. Windows resolves a bare program name through the child process's working directory before it searches PATH, and Cline runs `rg`, `git`, and `powershell` with your workspace as that directory — so a repository that happened to contain its own `rg.exe` would…
