Hello, this used to work before,

but it does not work on my current machine.

it creates folders in the .config folder on windows side, but crashes out.

Can you advise?

Hmm, looks like some sort of bug in XDG which is the library that we use to parse the freedesktop submenu when running with newer Python versions:

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xdg/pyxdg/-/issues/20

What distro, ubuntu version etc are you running?

Issue was fixed upstream so closing off here.
