Arduino IDE connect2.exe error

A few programs ran OK with the IDE installed program, but the error appears in all of them now.
Same programs run in the non-IDE version work OK/

Hi @w4ghv. Please provide the full and exact text of the error message.

What were you doing when you got the error? For example: compiling, uploading.

It is not clear to me what you mean by "non-IDE version".

What is the "non-IDE version"?

Which exact version of the Arduino IDE are you using when you get the error?

The "non-IDE" is the original or common version. Latest version.

I downloaded the latest fancy IDE version (release candidate) and was excited to use it. That is the one with the connect error.

Googling connect2.exe says there is a 'second exe' running. I see nothing unusual in task manager. I reboot and start over and get the same error compiling all programs.

I'll remove and re install the IDE version.

Thanks for your help!

OK, thanks for the clarification, and for giving the Arduino IDE 2.0.0 release candidate a try!

Please let us know if the error persists or if you have any other problems or feedback for the release candidate.

Solved the connect2.exe error on ArduinoV2.0!
I used Windows 10 Manager to clean up all old files and delete all the temp subdirectories.
That fixed it!
