Hi  
Gitea runs here via Chocolatey on a W10 Server. After the Update from 1.21.0 to 1.21.7 or 1.21.8 it no longer starts…

If i start it without Admin rights (common case) it shows:

that didn’t solve it, I have too much work in gitea… so rm -rf and just stick with github? it seems the update killed gitea
