Hey all,

I just downloaded Julia and this is the issue I am running into:

Thoughts to resolve this?

[Patriciasparreo]

Hm, I deleted the general registry and it seems to be working now.

[SimonEnsemble]

this happened to my student on Windows too, Julia 1.5.3.

This happened to my student on Windows too on March 2021, same Julia version: 1.5.3

[KristofferC]

Will be fixed in 1.6.

[cnaak]

Will be fixed in 1.6.

Thank you!
