Have a settings.json stored at ...\AppData\Roaming\Tgstation.Server.ControlPanel
Attempt to start client
If settings.json is from a different installation or otherwise cannot be decoded, application crashes at boot
Deleting settings.json provides a workaround but you lose your settings.
In this case the settings.json was from a previous installation of Windows and was carried over.
