[Desktop][Windows] UI renders blank "Not found" error on startup after updating to v0.5.22 #7334
Description
Describe the bug
After updating the desktop client to release desktop-v0.5.22 on Windows 11, the application window launches successfully, but the main interface fails to render any content and only displays the error text:
"ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND"
The app becomes completely unusable. Downgrading back to desktop-v0.5.20 immediately resolves the issue and the interface loads normally.
Steps to Reproduce
- Install or update to
desktop-v0.5.22on Windows 11 (Buzz_0.5.22_x64-setup_alpha-unsigned.exe). - Launch the desktop application.
- Observe the window frame opens, but the internal canvas/view shows
"Not found".
Expected Behavior
The client should connect/load the community view, channels, and local cache as it does in version 0.5.20.
Environment & Details
- App Version:
desktop-v0.5.22(Regression; works ondesktop-v0.5.20) - OS: Windows 11 (x86_64)
- Installation method: Installer / Executable release asset
Additional Context / Logs
- No local UI navigation or reconnect prompt appears, suggesting an internal asset/routing resolution failure (e.g., frontend routing / Tauri webview index load failure) or an unhandled local state migration error between versions.

I downloaded and installed version 0.5.20. The installer suggested deleting the currently installed version 0.5.22, but I chose to keep the previous files, and this restored functionality.

Installing the new v.0.5.23 seems to have resolved the issue for me.

Windows에서 0.5.22로 업데이트한 뒤 ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND가 발생했고, 0.5.20으로 복구한 뒤에는 정상 작동했습니다.
수정 #7177이 포함된 desktop-v0.5.23의 공개 배포를 확인했습니다. 다만 2026-09-07 14:22 KST(05:22 UTC)에 캐시 우회 및 Cache-Control: no-cache로 다시 조회해도 자동 업데이트 목록은 여전히 0.5.22를 반환합니다.

수정된 Windows 설치본을 제공하도록 자동 업데이트 경로의 갱신 여부를 확인해 주세요. 이 댓글은 0.5.23에서도 화면 오류가 재현됐다는 보고가 아니라, 공개 Release와 자동 업데이트 목록이 일치하지 않는다는 추가 확인입니다. 현재 저희 환경의 0.5.23 별도 검증은 진행 예정입니다.
