Im trying to run my file and I keep getting the error:

ERROR - Error: Found biblatex control file version 3.4, expected version 3.3. This means that your biber (2.7) and biblatex (3.9) versions are incompatible. See compat matrix in biblatex or biber PDF documentation.

I already tried downloading Biber from here https://sourceforge.net/projects/biblatex-biber/?source=typ_redirect I then put the biber file next to my tex document and it still gives the same error message.

I searched for Biber in the package manager and could not find it. How can I update my Biber to 2.9?

After trying to select all to update, the process won't work.

While you wait for an answer to this question, can you go back to your previous ones and look if the answers solve your problems and accept them, if they do? – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Dec 15 '17 at 14:35

I recently had the same problem under MikTeX. Updating all packages using the MiKTeX Package Manager solved the problem for me. – hbaderts Dec 15 '17 at 14:41
Im on MiKTeX windows-64. I just reinstalled MiKTeX, updated the packages, and it still says that I have biber 2.7 – Michael Dec 15 '17 at 15:37
When i selected all to update it said the process did not succeed – Michael Dec 15 '17 at 15:44
Did you synchronise the package repository you use? Present version is 2.9 and biblatex is in version 3.9. – Bernard Dec 15 '17 at 16:02
Under the package manager's repository tab I clicked synchronize, but after I checked the biber package and it still says 2.7 – Michael Dec 15 '17 at 16:16
