rustup update error: detected conflict

[Donald2010]

I run the commands PS E:\dev> rustc --version rustc 1.74.1 (a28077b28 2023-12-04) PS E:\dev> cargo --version cargo 1.74.1 (ecb9851af 2023-10-18) PS E:\dev> rustup update

after download, it prompts:

nfo: installing component 'rust-std' for 'i686-pc-windows-gnu'

what should I do to update ?

So this is basically saying that something already exists at the path that it's trying to install the new toolchain's rust-src component too. Perhaps you (inadvertently) installed a newer toolchain already through some other method? What does rustup toolchain list -v say?

PS E:\dev> rustup toolchain list -v stable-x86_64-pc-windows-gnu (default) C:\Users\My\.rustup\toolchains\stable-x86_64-pc-windows-gnu

I installed Rust quite a time ago, and can't remember clearly, but maybe it has something todo with MSYS2 installed earlier ?
