Hi,
I have upgraded MiKTeX relatively recently – I don’t want to upgrade
again if I don’t have to upgrade – so please could you update your
webpage which says:

Due to a bug in MiKTeX, installation of LyX 2.3.0 can sometimes cause
the MiKTeX installation to be corrupted. (See
https://github.com/MiKTeX/miktex/issues/82.) If you run into problems,
the solution will be to uninstall MiKTeX and then re-install.
We highly recommend that MiKTeX users update to the latest version
*before* installing LyX 2.3.0. If you have any questions about how to
update MiKTeX, you can email [email protected] for help. (You do
not need to be subscribed to the mailing list to do so, but you may
wish to do that anyway. See this page
<https://www.lyx.org/MailingLists#toc2> for information on subscribing.)

This information does not mention specific versions – just says
“latest version of MiKTeX”. My MiKTeX console window tells me it is
version 2.9.6751.
I am actually using another TeX editor which works fine for me but I
want to collaborate with a colleague and I heard that LyX might be an
easier editor for him to use on shared documents. Before doing that I
want to check that LyX is something I can recommend to him.
However seeing this message on your website has made me reluctant to
try out LyX in case my MiKTeX installation gets corrupted.
There is currently some major bug in MiKTeX that is preventing any kind
of update. You might want to wait a little bit before doing anything.
Isn't it already working again? I had no problems today.
