I got the same error - Running the npx command listed on the top of this: https://github.com/johnlindquist/kit/issues/1056 worked for me.

However, upon restarting my computer, and booting up kit again, I get the same error when just opening the program. It seems to look for a kit\resources\fallbacks\windows\clipboard_x86_64.exe file, however I don't see the resources directory. Can you confirm?

@xenoxsis Can you check your logs at:

~/Library/Logs/Kit.app/main.log

The clipboard error is misleading because it's trying to copy the error from the logs to the clipboard.

@xenoxsis Also, did you try the pre-release build? It fixed for this user: https://github.com/johnlindquist/kit/issues/1040#issuecomment-1404167114

Download from here: https://github.com/johnlindquist/kitapp/releases/tag/v1.40.65
