I just had the same issue as in https://github.com/Squirrel/Squirrel.Windows/issues/1150

Replacing the rcedit.exe in node_modules\electron-winstaller\vendor with the latest version (2.0.0) from here fixed the issue.

All my files are local and not on a network drive.

It looks like an old rcedit version causes more issues: https://github.com/Squirrel/Squirrel.Windows/issues/888

Unfortunately, this fix was only temporary… I'm currently not sure whats going on.

I tried a lot of suggestions from here https://github.com/electron/packager/issues/590 , e.g. adding exceptions for rcedit in Windows Defender and so on, but non of those worked out so far.
