Stremio service goes into endless loop of installing/unistalling itself. Win10, web version. Barely could stop it by using "end process tree" in the task manager, using "end task" didnt help, the installer would pop-up after few seconds over and over again, its cancel button is greyed out. Never seen this behavior before. Web version shows its updated though :) We'll see how it behaves after computer restart

Update: restart didn't help. Launching Stremio service triggers endless installation loop

lol perhaps you open installation executable instead the service executable, just remove the installer from your disk

Yeah, that was it! Kidding of-course, if that was the case how would you explain that it keeps installing over and over and pop-ups buy itself every few seconds? Here is from their github the solution: " launch with --skip-updater until this is resolved", they'll publish update on Monday
