Subject: Tlmgr suddenly fails
Hello,
since yesterday I observe a strange error with TLMgr on a Windows 10
Notebook:
Whenever I call it, it throws me the error message "Back end gone. Last
command: version" after a while (~ 5-10 seconds after I start it, before
I can do anything.)
I already successfully called tlmgr update --self --all (a self-update
wasn't necessary)
and update-tlmgr-latest.exe
but the error remains.
As far as I can tell, I didn't install any new software lately.
The error isn't hurting me, because it is possible to update from the
command line.
With kind regards
Alois</pre>

Hi Alois,
I guess you are talking about the TclTk frontend to tlmgr, since the command line utility does run.
Can you start the GUI from the cmd window and see if there are any strange messages besides what you sent?
Other than that, I guess we have to wait for Siep...
Best
Norbert
