This looks to be caused by automation-stack/node-machine-id#56, invoked at https://github.com/bitfocus/companion/blob/main/companion/lib/Data/CloudDatabase.js#L32

So I guess we need some fallback mechanism to handle environments where windows is more locked down

This is fixed in the betas and will be in a 3.3.1 patch release 'soon'
