Additional Context

I tried reinstalling chocolateygui, but it didn't work.

@ObnubiladO it has been some time since this issue was raised. I am unable to replicate the issue on the same version of Chocolatey GUI.

Is this still an issue?

[mchin-rch]

ChocolateyGUI has been working fine up until today. I received the same error as ObnubiladO. Oddly enough, I have ChocolateyGUI installed on another identical Windows Server where it works fine.

[ObnubiladO]

I reinstalled ChocolateyGUI just now and it actually works for me now. Same PC, same OS, so I don't know what fixed it.

I'm guessing it had something to do with a Windows update or some Windows process.

[pauby]

@mchin-rch Given what was said above by @ObnubiladO, this may well be a Windows Update causing it.

Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward? This issue will be closed in 14 days if it continues to be inactive.
