I had the same issue and running PoB as admin helped (as suggested in Reddit from the previous comment link)
EDIT:
Might be relevant to add that once I closed that hanging "Applying update..." window and opened PoB it showed me 2.4.0 as it would be updated, based on stat changes seems that it worked. However, PoB was telling me there is an update but with an empty changelog. So looks like the process of updating was stuck at some later steps.

Thanks. I tried to start PoB as an admin before and closed all instances befor since i found some older reddit posts that suggested doing so. For some reason it did not work. When i restarted my PC and then run as an admin as suggested on reddit it worked. Thanks for helping.

For me it was the same as for damianpetla. It already showed me 2.4.0 and the changelog was empty, thanks again

No worries, I will leave this issue open, in case more people stumble upon this error.

Ran into the same issue, just posting here to confirm that running as admin made the update work fine and it no longer flags as an update needed.
