@iAjittiwari The window stays open after the reinstall. I have not touched the in-app updater since. Same GBK pipe, same crash. I skip that button until the fix lands.
@Teknium Spent the whole afternoon on one Hermes desktop update. Chinese Windows still reads the updater pipe as GBK. Byte 0x94 is illegal there, so hermes update dies with exit 1, relaunches the app, and the window then quits itself. I did not choose GBK. That is just what Windows ships here. Calling this cosmetic is wrong. I had to reinstall the desktop shell before the window would stay open.
