[bug] Windows app breaks when trying to download/use pipe

[vcasadei]

describe the bug
This may happen on startup/setup or any time that the app is running and any pipe tries to install.

Basically, the setup goes well, my ollama local server is recognized etc. However, when the setup asks to open search, screenpipe launches an error (I've added the logs).

If I end the setup and start recording, if I try to download any pipe, the same issue occurs.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open Screenpipe app
2. Start the onboarding
3. Follow onboarding and select local ollama instance
4. click to open search pipe

Expected Result:

1. Search pipe is downloaded

Actual Result:

1. Search pipe fails to download/install
2. Screenpipe stops to record screen and audio

system info

screenpipe version: 0.38.1 and 0.38.5

can you confirm exactly which version of app you're running? the version detail will be in system tray menu

[vcasadei]

Right now, I'm using 0.38.5, but I also tested and found this to happen on 0.38.1

Right now, I'm using 0.38.5, but I also tested and found this to happen on 0.38.1

so this isn't happening in 0.38.5?

[vcasadei]

it's happening on both versions

[tribhuwan-kumar]

it's happening on both versions

investigating it!

@vcasadei so I tested in windows 11. It doesn't happening there. I don't have window 11 pro version. can you check it again?
