NRF Connect toolchain manager not starting

[danielboe]

Hi, I tried to start toolchain manager on my main computer and its not working anymore. I tried to delete all nrf related folders, deleted all apps including nrf connect deskop and reinstalled everything. its still the same issue. I even moved the already installed toolchain folders to a new place, this also didnt help

the window of toolchain manager opens and a spinning wheel never stops
