Your screenshot tells me a lot, especially that you’re trying to update a plugin with a project that relies on said plugin open!!!

People, please please PLEASE stop updating plugins and stacks with an active project open.  
Think of it like brain surgery, do you want to operate on someone whilst they are under anaesthetic or whilst they are awake and driving a car at 100mph with you sitting in the back seat without a seatbelt.
