Problem updating to latest Bitwarden 11.0

hspindel · November 17, 2025, 5:05am

The Bitwarden Windows app tells me an update is available. Attempting to update gives me a Cannot download error, status 404, https://artifacts.bitwarden.com/desktop/Bitwarden-Beta-Installer-2025.11.0.exe

This happens on multiple Windows machines, and has continued for several days.

Updates have previously worked successfully for a long time.

I do not know why the link refers to a Beta installer. I am not trying to use beta software.

I got around this by manually downloading the 11.0 installer, but it would be nice to know why updating through the GUI is failing.
