Additional context

The root cause might be similar to the other issue I filed regarding bot runtime: https://github.com/microsoft/BotFramework-Composer/issues/3443. Although since both produce in different areas and when performing different actions, I logged it as separate issues, just in case they are unrelated after all.

I have the same issues and it happens when update the nightly update. It was fixed once I installed the main version again but not that does not help either. The following issue also occurs: #3443 .

[manashty]

I just fixed it by Uninstalling the composer from C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Programs\Bot Framework Composer and running the installer of version 1.0.0.1093 and installing it on local user.

@manashty Downgrading to the latest stable does indeed work around the problem temporary - as long as in settings you deactivate the nightly builds flag.
