Hi Rastaman, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

Could you try reinstalling the app, without uninstalling it first, to see if this helps?

 

Keep me updated with any progress!

    TO FIX EVERYTHING THE SOLUTION IS ALWAYS TO UNINSTALL THE APP THAT HOLDS ALL OF YOUR MOST IMPORTANT FILES

    BRILLIANT!

    YEAH, JUST DO THAT!

      Hi Rastaman 

      Except that you dont remove the data, it stays on your machine. You just rebuild the software across the links.
