  I am trying to open the preferences window on the WordPress desktop app (1.4.0), but every time it gives me a string of errors and then crashes. See the text below:

  Please restart the app and try again.

  If you continue to have issues, please contact us at help@wordpress.com and mention the error details below:

  Hi there,

  Thanks for reporting this. We’re aware of the problem, and we’re already working on a fix for it. It should be working again with the next update.
