   I get a similar, but worse error, I am not sure if is related. I have installed, uninstalled and reinstalled it multiple times and while it works fine on the first start, it subsequently always fails with these errors:

   So, just an an update on a workaround, I:

   • Disabled the "Start with Windows" option in the ACC settings (which removes that Taskscheduler Task); and
   • Left the ACC cleanup Task in Task scheduler, and
   • Added (in the Startup Dir accessed using START +R, shell:startup) a shortcut to ACC in the Windows startup folder.

   No more errors due to double starting; so far at least.
