IDEs Jetbrains toolkit won't update apps
I have Clion, Rider and RustRover. JetBrains Toolkit won't udate them. They are greyed out. I can't remember the exact words when the mouse hovers over them, something like 'The path or files is not writeable, check settings.' I can't update from within the apps because it says updates are controlled by Toolkit.
I uninstalled Toolkit and can now update from within each app. Both before and after installing Toolkit, updates were, and are still, extremely slow, like 40 minutes. It must spend 30-35 minutes on the validating... stage.
It's a new Lenovo PC, Intel Core Ultra 5 226V, 16GB RAM, Windows 11 with all updates. Little else installed. Any ideas?
