its strange when starting the program for the first time from the installer i see the issue but all subsequent starts seams fine, is this also your experience? Also there ware no breaking changes from 1.8.4 to 1.9.0 so perhaps the root cause is a different one and the observed installer related behavior masked it and it was present in older builds?

[Dyras]

@DavidXanatos Every start shows this error for me, I've "solved" it by simply blocking the alert itself, because aside from this message popping up all the time the program works great.

No clue if it was present in past builds. Anything else I can test to see what could be causing it?
