I rebooted my computer and IPFS-Desktop greeted me with an error message.

IPFS-Desktop was installed using Scoop.

Specifications

• OS : win32
• IPFS Desktop Version : 0.6.1
• Electron Version : 4.0.0
• Chrome Version : 69.0.3497.106

Hey @NatoBoram! Sorry for hearing that. Just a question: were you connected to the Internet when that happened?

[NatoBoram]

I think I was, the Ethernet wire was connected to my computer when it booted and the router was on. Maybe it didn't have the time to connect to Internet.

@NatoBoram thanks for the info. On the next version, hopefully, IPFS Desktop won't break with this kind of errors.
