Why does Storage Studio say it needs to update before it can run?
Short answer: This version is too old to keep running safely, so Storage Studio updates first — it downloads, checks and relaunches automatically. Settings and moved items carry over.
Occasionally a version is too old to keep working safely — for example, after an important fix. When that happens, Storage Studio asks to update before it opens. It downloads the new version, checks it, and relaunches automatically, usually in under a minute.
Your settings, moved items and history carry over. You can read what's new from the same screen.
