Hi @JustMyGithub, 👋🏼

could you please edit and reformat your "Screenshots and Logs" with Markdown code snippets syntax? 🙏🏼 After unexpected render by GitHub, these logs seems a mess.

Are you currently running a Windows bundled version of this package? I usually upgrade this package to pre-release version manually from GitHub Releases.
