Impossible to continue "Element is open in another window"

[Xzensi]

Steps to reproduce

Element worked fine. Rebooted Windows 10, suddenly get "Element is open in another window" warning even though I do not have any other client open. Pressing "Continue" does nothing and loads forever.

I tried:

• Reinstalling Element desktop
• At /synapse-admin I removed myself under "DEVICES"

Web and mobile clients still work fine.

What did you expect?

Being able to just use Element like normal.

Will you send logs?

Update: After waiting 18 hours and a couple reboots later, whatever file lock or stuck flag caused it to stay stuck in "Element is open in another window", even though the session wasn't even authenticated or logged in anymore, expired or got cleared and I can log into homeurl again.

I'm having the same problem. Happened after rebooting Windows. There was an Element update a few days ago, and I had not rebooted since. Likely a bug in the latest version.
