I've also had the unhandled exception already reported but I haven't installed KB5000842

Exception Thrown:
System.InvalidOperationException: <html xmlns=''> was not expected.

This is occurring when hfm.net checks for updates. I assume Google has added some virus scanning and when hfm.net tries to download the update xml file, it gets a web page warning that the file could not be scanned. Hfm.net is expecting an xml file with application update information. Instead it receives an html file with the virus scan warning (https://drive.google.com/uc?authuser=0&id=13I1sk0uZiR6vE30HwaK9wOOj-XhfhInX&export=download)

I would assume this error would just be an annoyance and won't cause any issues running hfm.net.

There is an option (Preferences->Options) to check for updates during app startup. If you uncheck that option, you will no longer see that error when starting hfm.net.

Good catch. That should keep everyone quiet until Ryan has a chance to fix it.

I just started getting this error a few days ago, when I did Windows Inside build update. I can also confirm that unchecking check for updates does not show this message.
