I hope the title is understandable enough.
So I work with MiKTeX 2.9 and TexStudio editor on a Win 10 Home computer. I just realized that for almost a year now, every time I ran the installer for the new versions of TexStudio, nothing really got installed or at least the installations were not recognized. My current version seems to be 3.0.1 even though the latest release is up to 3.1.2. I realized this was happening when I was signaled the the installer for the newest version was already in my downloads. I ran it and checked if the update actually happened and it had not. I tried running it as an admin as well and it gave the same result. I am not sure what I can do to fix this.
Additionally, a while back I loaded a customized profile since I have problems with my eyes and I needed a dark theme. I don't think this could have caused problems, but please let me know if that's the case and what could be the work around that wouldn't require me to give up this profile since I really need it.

folder while TeXstudio 3.1.2 is in theProgram Files
. So first you should uninstall 3.0.1 and then install 3.1.2 .
