`Antigravity 2.0` Windows update can hijack the IDE launcher
FIG-0061:1

`Antigravity 2.0` Windows update can hijack the IDE launcher

Default install places the new app.asar in the old IDE folder. Rename it to recover the IDE, then copy config folders back; useful if your setup vanished after updating.

[ KEY POINTS ]
  1. Electron loads resources by directory, so resources\app.asar from 2.0 takes over the original IDE executable when both land in the same install path.
  2. Rollback is simple: rename app.asar to app.asar.bak under %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Antigravity\resources; restore the name to switch back to 2.0.
  3. Settings split because product names differ: Antigravity keeps old config, while restored Antigravity IDE creates empty Roaming and extension folders.
  4. Recover by copying Roaming\Antigravity into Roaming\Antigravity IDE, and .antigravity into .antigravity-ide; use mklink /J if extension paths exceed Windows limits.
