Please describe what you were doing when this error happened.

Just trying to install and use it. Stuck on "IPFS is Starting". Tried rebooting. Tried reinstalling. Tried updating. When I tried to update, it crashed with the following:

  • OS: win32
  • IPFS Desktop Version: 0.12.2
  • Electron Version: 8.2.5
  • Chrome Version: 80.0.3987.165

I suspect this could be caused by autoupdate check, which was blocking for some reason.
Should be fixed by #1682 where we made initial update check run in background, so even when its slow, does not block startup.
