Hi @rohahn! I'm glad to hear that you've found a workaround, however I can definitely understand how it could become frustrating having to do this for every update.

This issue is most commonly caused by security software locking down 1Password's installation directory. Have you been able to try updating 1Password in Safe Mode with Networking, to test whether it's able to go through there? Alternately, are you able to try adding exclusions for 1Password in any security software on your device? We usually recommend excluding both the full installation directory at %LOCALAPPDATA%\1Password, and also 1Password.exe.
