Using my Windows 7 Pro x32 machine when I start Katalon I am prompted to update from 5.4.2 to 5.5.0 confirming “Download”, the files are downloaded and I am asked to restart, restart and I am asked to update again from 5.4.2 to 5.5.0.
The same update path worked fine on Windows 10 Pro x64 and Windows 8.1 x32. I am running Katalon via a shortcut with admin creds.
Can you help to post Katalon Studio logs here? And also updater logs as well, it is located in this place: \configuration\resources\update\updater\updater.tx
Here is a fraction of a updater.log because the whole file is too big:

It basically continues like this for an hour. It seems the updater is trying to update in the background?
When I shut down all the background processes, the update went through.
I was running a test that was launched from a scheduler and in headless mode, so I didn’t see that it was still running when I opened Katalon this morning.
I think this is an another issue that merits some thought - there’s no way to tell (using Katalon Studio) if there is a headless execution going on. Even when you start it from the command line and then close the CL window the tests are continuing in the background but until you get a test report you cannot tell.
