I Have the EXACT Same ERROR Happening Right now.

Still active in Windows 10 Enterprise and v1-6-5

I found a "hack" to stop the error message.

First install 7-zip and the ASAR extension ( I'm using this one: https://www.tc4shell.com/en/7zip/asar/ )
Then unpack the C:\ProgramData\Safing\Portmaster\updates\windows_amd64\app\portmaster-app_v0-2-8\resources\app.asar
Edit the index.js, put this process.on('uncaughtException', function (err) {}) before the var electron_1 = require("electron"); line.
I put in line 38 rn.

Make a backup of app.asar, delete app.asar then zip again the folder in asar.

Or if you trust a lot in other people ( I doubt since you are using this program ), you can use my app.asar :
app.zip

Run portmaster.

the issue is does not impact Portmasters operation. It appears for some people when they pin Portmaster to their taskbar and open it through that.

We are fixing this in the new UI back-end.

In the meantime you can either ignore the error message, or open Portmaster via the start menu or the tray icon.

If someone wants to help fix this in the electron version of Portmaster you are welcome to contribute, let me know in that case I can reopen the issue as well.

I've been getting tis error, and is preventing any farther progress

what can I do to fix this?

[Raphty]

click ok and it should go away

it only happens when you open portmaster from an on the taskbar pinned icon
you can just open it from the start menu, we are fixing this with the new UI engine

I did click "ok" and the error went away, but the program does not start up....  Isaac V.
