Unable to EDIT or RUN new or updated flows in PAD. Correlation error displayed (see description)

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 4
I have been an avid PAD user for over 2 years and recently encountered an issue where the program prevents me from editing or running flows which are NEW (I can create a new flow, run that flow, and save that flow, but when I try to subsequently open it, I get a correlation error with the message:  "Exception message: Cannot create and populate list type System.Collections.Generic.IReadOnlyList`1[Microsoft.Flow.RPA.Desktop.Shared.Clients.DataClients.Entities.ConnectionReference]. Path '', line 1, position 1.
HResult: -2146233088"
I can open any OLD flow without issue, but if I then make ANY change to that flow and save it, it fails to open and returns the same exception message. 
 
How can I determine the exact cause of the failure and resolve?
 
I have uninstalled and reinstalled PAD with no improvement...  also, I have PAD installed on an application server where there is NO problem opening and editing any flow, including flows that are giving an exception on my local machine.
 
Thank you in advance for any help...

    I created the LOG files to track what is going wrong - the "exception is thrown" shows up at line 288 of the PADDesigner log file:
