What is the .exe for updating IDEA?

Answered

My anti-virus suddenly blocks IDEA's ability to update. I am unable to figure out the .exe, it uses. I thought you use JAVA_HOME, but no...

That did not help

Use Process Explorer (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/process-explorer) to see the full path to the java.exe used by the updater. Contact your antivirus vendor for further support if whitelisting the executable doesn't work.

I figured it out! So, I'm behind a proxy which is configured via an automatic script in the system OS settings. So, I chose the "No proxy" option in the IDEA because I want to use system proxy settings. But that way it does not work, I had to pick one of the addresses from the script and specify it in the "Manual proxy configuration" (because the "Auto-detect proxy settings" simply does not work). Is that a bug or expected? Why IDEA doesn't respect system settings, that's weird. IDEA-178247
