What's Wrong?
I can't do anything in any local session without getting errors like this using windows desktop Version 1.3109.0 (35cbf6)
This started yesterday after i relaunched the app and after 4.7 was released.
The CLI works fine.
What Should Happen?
it should respond as normal to the prompt, not give an API error.
