Restart after "Update" hangs in splash screen if executable location is write protected/needs admin privileges about openlens

Try the new release update and see if this exists

I just performed the update from 6.1.2 to 6.1.10. After pressing the green "Update" button, the OpenLens main window disappeard and did not any more reappear again. I launched it manually, no more issues with "loading...", but then the program still was a bit dysfunctional (meaning: all my existing cluster registrations were gone). There was around 10% CPU load and some Trusted Installer was running in the background. Quitting OpenLens and reopening for a few times did not help. Then I was interrupted, and now (2h later), OpenLens behaves correctly after startup.

So, in the end, I am not fully sure whether everything is resolved, but I definitively didn't need running OpenLens as administrator to get the update process to complete. From my side, this bug can be closed.

I have the same issue with an endless loading splash screen. A fresh install and starting as administrator did not help. In rar cases I was able to see my configured clusters after some restarts. But additionally kubexec did not work anymore with the actual version. I use windows and wsl2. I now downgraded to version 6.0.2 and voila, all is working again like charm. App is loading after 10sec and I can use kubeexec again. I have no clue if these issues are related to the source code or on the binary building workflow. I think most likely is that there were some breaking source code changes.
