Unable to update Android Studio because of Kotlin plugin - android

When I attempt to update Android Studio (Arctic Fox to Electric Eel), I get an error message
Plugin incompatible with the new build found: Kotlin
The only option it gives me is to download the new version of Android Studio. If I download the software and attempt to install it, it doesn't overwrite the previous version of Android Studio, instead it attempts to install a second version. The Kotlin plugin is up-to-date and if I uninstall it, I'm concerned it will cause more issues because so many other things depend on it.
Are there any steps I can take to enable the update button instead of the download button?

It seems that someone have had a similar issue, but with another version of Android Studio, here

Plugin incompatible with the new build found: Kotlin

I was going to upgrade from Android Studio Bumblebee to Android Studio Dolphin. However, I seem to get an unexpected warning from Android Studio:
As you can see the text in red, it shows that newer Android Studio's build does not support Kotlin! However, in details of Android Studio Dolphin, and image shows Kotlin files being programmed, which means Android Studio Dolphin's build actually supports Kotlin:
Should I update or not, and how should I fix this error, as I am a Kotlin Programmer.
Can somebody please help? Would appreciate it.
Edit
As for the Kotlin version, I have the latest Kotlin Version already:
Full answer:
I faced with the same issue and after research I found people say that reinstalling Kotlin plugin or removing it and update Studio should solve the issue, because Dolphin already includes the Kotlin plugin by default.
BUT For sure you should NOT remove the Kotlin plugin, because otherwise Android Studio will fail launching and after that you need to find on your PC the file named 'disabled_plugins.txt' and remove from it Kotlin. OR completely remove Android Studio and reinstall it from the scratch.
Personally I ignored this issue and just updated the Studio. Works well and Kotlin plugin installed. Also I noticed that before update I had Kotlin version 1.7.10 and AS didn't ask for update the plugin. After update I've got 1.7.20.
Good luck :)

How to update gradle without android studio?

I have run into some issues with gradlew failing to run in my nativescript application. People have told me that it's a gradle issue and I need to update it, but wherever I search I see instructions for updating gradle using android studio. But I've just installed my SDKs using the sdkmanager and avdmanager. Is there any way to update gradle using them?
I don't want to update my emulator images etc. only gradle.
When you update android studio you should be able to keep settings from past versions I've been using android studio on the same computer for 3 to 4 years and all my old images/ SDKs are still there, plus if you update grade without updating android studio the grade may not be recognized by that version of android studio. If I was in your place I would update android studio to the latest stable version.

how to cancel an android studio update

since I installed the lasted update of android studio I have been receiving a lot of errors while trying to run and building the project. I wonder if there is a solution to restore android studio to the older version
You could uninstall android studio and download its older version from here. But the better treatment is to keep the latest version and solve errors.

Android Studio in Windows 10 not launch after installing Google Sceneform Tools (Beta)

in windows 10 in Android Studio 3.2.1
the application is worked correctly after first time of installing but after installing Google Sceneform Tools (Beta) from :
File > Settings > Plugins > Browse Repositories
after installing the plugin android studio should restart and then it's can't launch anymore
anyone can help please ?
One cannot just use any version of Google Sceneform Tools ​(Beta)​ with any version of Android Studio. As this one comment suggests, even if it's about other versions (also see the other comments there):
A temporary solution: install Android Studio 3.5.1 + Sceneform 1.5, make sfb file, place in project in Android Studio 3.6.
So in your case, you might probably have to update to Android Studio version 3.5.3 or any other version, which works with the current version 1.16.0, as the Android Studio which you are using appears rather outdated.
If you just want to be able to start Android Studio again, then manually delete the plugin directory from %USERPROFILE%/.AndroidStudio3.2/config/plugins, in order to perform a manual uninstall, as it might be required in order to update Android Studio.
Besides "it's not working" is not an error description. You'd have to start Android Studio from the command line, in order to get some meaningful error message, by which you then could search in the issues on GitHub (if the reason why it doesn't start up anymore might have another cause).
I have had issue #377 filed for this plugin since Oct 16, 2018, and unfortunately it is still open now.
I will update this answer if it is solved or a solution is found.
Update 1 :
the github [repository]2 for this plugin has been archived and it seems no longer supported after reading the documentation here

Android studio 2.3: Could not initialize class org.jetbrains.kotlin.android.actions.NewKotlinActivityAction

I have just updated Android studio 2.2.2 to 2.3 from the canary channel. After downloading completed and applying path file, the android studio is restarting.
But after restarting android studio I am getting below error with dialog:
Cannot load project:
com.intellij.ide.plugins.PluginManager$StartupAbortedException:
com.intellij.diagnostic.PluginException: Could not initialize class
org.jetbrains.kotlin.android.actions.NewKotlinActivityAction [Plugin:

See below screenshot for to get more idea:
After closing dialog by ok and restarting android studio, also I can't able to open my project or creating new project.
Does anyone is facing same issue after updating android studio?
Disable the Kotlin plugin and restart Android Studio. I had the same error even after I updated the plugin. So disabling seems to be the solution for now -- unless you're using Kotlin, I guess.
The Kotlin team confirmed a fix is in the works via twitter: https://twitter.com/kotlin/status/797111726516879360
The issue is fixed in Kotlin plugin version 1.0.5-2.
Issue is fixed in new update of Kotlin, you can update your plugin from
Configuration>Plugin>Install JetBrains Plugin>Select "Kotlin" from List and hit "Update" from right menu
Updating the 'ext.kotlin_version' on root build.gradle to the latest fixed the issue for me. Use this link to find the latest kotlin version.
This happened to me just today after updating my Kotlin's plug-in verison from 1.1.51 to 1.1.60. I had to uninstall this version from Settings > Pluings in Android Studio and install the previous one, which can be downloaded from JetBrains plug-ins repository.
If you're using Android Studio 3.0, you don't need to install the previous version of the plug-in again since version 1.1.51 is built-in in Android Studio.
