Windows 10: SquirrelSetup error after installing the Windows 10 update

I am running into SquirrelSetup error after installing the Windows 10 update.


Here is the start of the error message I get when I try to download Grammarly.

I have tried disabling Norton Anti-Virus when installing Grammarly.

New install Windows 10 (issue solved)

It's good that you're not experiencing any issues. Unfortunately many folks are, a quick Google search will show the same info im offering the OP.

Heres a couple examples:

It's basically what I mentioned above, small issues here and there ,but nothing to end your day.. for the most part.

I know it's anecdotal, but for my experience 95% of the time it's perfectly fine. The issues I've run into wouldn't be enough for me to roll back , but they would be enough (had I not installed it yet) ,to avoid it for another couple weeks which is why I'm suggesting it to the OP
