@that-curious-guy can you run the application from the Command Prompt to see if there are any error logs?

FIX : v

  1. Uninstall the current version, delete all the associated files and services
  2. Install the old version, (pref. V0.10.xx) DO NOT RUN THE APP
  3. Open the browser, login to your GitHub ac , Keep this tab open.
  4. Now run the app as an administrator,
  5. Provide firewall permissions (if you are using it)
  6. Login via GitHub.
  7. Once logged in , restart the PC.

It should work now !

It will prompt an update screen, to v0.11.1
