Hi,
Auto updater fails (0.13.1 -> 0.13.2 right now) when it tries to overwrite (or remove?) file which doesn't exist.
In my case it's factorio.pdb. I keep my whole game folder on SVN so it's synced between PCs And on SVN i tend to ignore .pdb files on global.
Message is "Error when opening Q:\...\..\x64/factorio.pdb for reading: No such file or directory". It might be similar for other files.
[0.13.1] Auto updater fails (other versions probably too)

For Factorio, you should generally keep the .pdb file as it is the only way the builtin crash handler can get the stack context (since the debugging symbols aren't part of the Windows binary).
It is very possible the auto-updater crashed (as it has in a couple other threads here), and the crash handler itself crashed (because it can't get the .pdb file).

Probably fixed for 0.13.5

Actually not, the fix was for a different crash.

You removed the pdb file, so it is your fault.
