[OK]

This is occurring only in Windows thin clients. I couldn't able to reproduce in my windows laptop. I tried few other Windows laptops to test, but I couldn't able to reproduce it other than thin clients.

I tried to manually run this command to see, if there is any issue. but the command is executed fine without any error.

Our error logs are also filled with this error:

Unhandled Error Error: Command failed: powershell.exe -NoProfile -NonInteractive -InputFormat None -Command Get-AuthenticodeSignature -LiteralPath 'C:/Users/User/AppData/Local/appname-updater/pending/temp-AppName-Setup-1.0.99.exe' | ConvertTo-Json -Compress | ForEach-Object { [Convert]::ToBase64String([System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes($_)) } at ChildProcess.exithandler (node:child_process:407:12) at ChildProcess.emit (node:events:527:28) at maybeClose (node:internal/child_process:1092:16) at Socket.

Any clues how to fix or silence this error? It seems to occur only the first time the app is started according to one user report we got.
