On launching the Publii application I am now (after a few years of successful operation) getting the following error:

Uncaught exception:

Error: UNKNOWN: unknown error, read

at Object.readSync (node:fs:749:3)

at tryReadSync (node:fs:449:20)

etc..

referring to app.asar/back-end/app.js:166:55

This is latest Windows build running on Windows 10.

Thanks for looking.

Hi,

There can be few reasons of this issue:
- corrupted file (in this case config.json in the used theme)
- wrong file permissions
- availability of the files – maybe you are now using these files from cloud (like One Drive/Dropbox) resource?

Thanks for this. It might have been lack of availability of files as I freed up space on my local drive by offloading to OneDrive. I brought them back to the local drive so I could back them up before reinstall the software. Working now. Thanks for the response.
