Thanks for letting us know @Nitin_Kumar . I wonder what happened here 🤔 . I’m glad the sites are safe and you were able to get DevKinsta updated. We’ll keep an eye on this. ---

Same happens to me as well. It actually just did again. From the first time that I installed DevKinsta till now it has happened everytime, about 4 times now. I don’t reboot often. It prompts “new updated installed, restart now”. It shuts down DevKinsta, removes files from “Program Files\DevKinsta” folder. Then it just does nothing. I download new setup file, install and it works again, all 8 sites are ok. ---

Same things happens for me. Installing the new DevKinsta installer for Windows fixed the problem. ---

Just wanted to register that this happened to me this morning. The app uninstalled but failed to reinstall. I almost panicked a little 😅. But downloading a fresh installer and installing from it restored everything as it was. ---

Hi everyone. The auto-update on Windows is disabled with the release of DevKinsta 2.2.0. You will experience the uninstall issue with prior versions but [downloading and re-installing](https://kinsta.com/devkinsta/) will resolve it going forward. Sorry for the trouble here! Let me know if you need anything else by creating a new forum post here. 👍 ---
