Weird. That really shouldn't be able to happen, since the config is always loaded, checked and migrated before the UI is initialised.

I've tried a fresh install and wiping the configuration directory, but I can't reproduce it on Windows 10 here.

Changing line 529 of main.py to:

if "telemetry_allow_requests_from_anyone" in self.sideband.config and self.sideband.config["telemetry_allow_requests_from_anyone"]:

Would probably solve it, but I'm hesitant to do that as a quick fix, since the underlying cause is likely to be something much stranger. Are you 100% certain there is not something strange going on with this particular Win10 system?

Is this reproducible on multiple machines in your end?

[cobraPA]

Only one failure machine on first install. Do you know if anything besides .config, .kivy and .sideband is created? I moved those away and tried to repeat, and it started this time without the error. I don't think there is anything special, other than it is a Win10 VM running in Bootcamp/Parallels on Mac.

[markqvist]

That is really puzzling. I can't think of anything else, off the top of my head. I'll keep it in mind and see if I can eventually reproduce it. Thanks for posting!

[cobraPA]

Sounds good, no problem marking this 'can't reproduce' or something. If I find a case for that I can add details and reopen.

[markqvist]

Fixed in latest release.
