Cannot install Patch 1 on Android Studio 2022.1.1 on Windows (because of symlink?)

Question

I'm trying to update Android Studio 2022.1.1 to Android Studio 2022.1.1 Patch 1 on Windows 11 Home edition. I did the same on a Linux partition and it worked.

The patch is downloaded and a restart is required. When I restart the IDE, though, the update fails with this error message:

An error occurred when preparing the patch: java.io.IOException: An absolute link: C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\jre -> C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\jbr

The log file reads:

The jre directory is a symbolic link to the jbr (JetBrains) directory that contains the Java Runtime Environment.

What's the issue here?

It should have something to do with the same problem that caused this, but I'd like to understand the issue instead of just finding a provisional workaround.
