Jetbrains Toolbox and update of DataGrip
For a while now updating DataGrip became a bit of a mystery. I am on 2026.1.3 and every now and then I get a notification here:
I click it, nothing happens.. (it used to work).
Then in Jetbrain toolbox I see three references to the same thing without update:
Clicking on all of them shows “Opening” and that's it, nothing else happens

My guess is that DataGrip is installed in a directory where Toolbox can’t write. For example, in Program Files. Please check this article for a workaround:

I also found a similar case in our tracker, resolved with a clean installation:

If this doesn’t help, please attach your Toolbox logs from **Settings | About | Collect logs and diagnostic data**. You can use JetBrains Uploads for this:
