Does any one know what's happening ?
I can't find anything here nor on the internet..

    Looks like an update operation failed or got stuck and didn't remove its lock file. If you manually delete update.lock in the directory shown, does the issue resolve?

Sometimes processes fail unexpectedly and leave behind lock files. In most cases you should be able to manually remove the file by navigating to your local AppData folder (the file will live elsewhere on other operating systems) and deleting it from your file manager.



Sounds like you've been able to resolve this issue just by removing update.lock.
