Thanks for the update TCLI.

 

I'm sorry to ask the obvious; I'm just excluding factors here as I don't have a visual of your device's logs or account's information.

 

This might sound far fetched, but are you familiar with an app called 'Boxifier'? I remember there was a setting that could block our app's updates from running properly; this is why I'm asking.

 

If you've never heard of it, please try creating a brand new local Operating System user profile with administrator rights and try to reproduce the behavior there.

 

In either case, please keep me posted!

I've checked my PC and don't have Boxifier/Google Drive installed.

I've tried to replicate the issue in my virtual machine, but it works fine in my virtual machine.
