I have never experienced this… :frowning: so sorry @JohnK Could you try cloning in another directory and start the install again ? this is so strange

@sebavan very strange got it to work using git bash directly but neither git bash nor powershell within visual studio code???

reroll windows 10 asap is my advice (not related to this issue). i also updated to 11, it’s a nightmare. I just put linux on my laptop this morning, going to do the same for this desktop when i get back from travel
