Fix the TimeOutException and other bug fixes #24

Closed autumnlewjb closed 4 years ago

This pull request will eventually fix #23. Instead of fixing the issue, I managed to do bug-hunting for the whole program and found another error: the program was unable to access the Privacy and Security section when the cancel sent requests process was carried out. I managed to fix both of them in this pull request, at least when I run the program from bash on Windows.

This error was most probably due to the method you used in order to have a copy of the Git repository on your local machine. Plus, I was using VS Code for editing, which I reckone why it is part of the error message. In order to solve this problem, you have 2 options which I discovered so far:
