Had the same problem. Closing the console and opening it did not solve it. So I updated .NET which kind of helped partially. The original error went away and the MP was able to create the alert override MP under Settings. However when trying to discover the community packs it throws another error (popup):
Failed to create GitHubIndex Object
Unexpected character encountered while parsing value: <. Path ” , line0, position 0.
Any idea?
