I would try to start Rancher Desktop from the shell with
Copy code
rdctl start --application.updater.enabled=false
If that alone doesn't work, then maybe you need to delete the already downloaded update package, but I can't remember off the top of my head where that is located. Probably somewhere under
~/Library/Application Support/Rancher Desktop
in older versions, or
~/Library/Application Support/rancher-desktop/electron
in the latest releases. Look for something over 500MB in size...

Thanks for the workarounds! Should this be considered a bug though? It would be nice if there was a dialog like "do you want to cancel the upgrade?" (or "do you want to try the upgrade again?")

Yes, there should be a way to abort it, so feel free to file a GitHub issue about it. Given that there is a workaround (I hope just running with
--application.updater.enabled=false
made it work for you), and the high number of issues in the backlog, I suspect we won't get around to this for a while. But it is open source, so somebody else might...

Sorry I didn't get a chance to test your workarounds 😞 . They fixed my admin issue before I got a chance to try it.
Thanks for your help though!

You are welcome!

I also added your workarounds in a comment

Thank you. Unfortunately you created it in the Rancher (Manager) repo, and not in the Rancher Desktop one (https://github.com/rancher-sandbox/rancher-desktop). I don't have admin access to the Rancher repo, so I can't move the issue; can you please close it and re-create it in the correct repo?
