Hello Vilar,

Thank you for trying the suggested troubleshooting steps. As the issue persists following the complete removal and reinstallation, I'll need to conduct a more comprehensive investigation. Could you please provide your SSU log file? This will allow me to review your system configuration and better analyze the root cause.

Looking forward to your reply.

Best regards,
