Sorry for not updating you on this issue for such a long time. I discovered the issue is common not just to my PC, but also to all my colleagues’ PCs.

I am working on it with the IT, but at the moment IT has more urgent things to do in order to support the massive increase in network activity due to all the people working from home.

I will post here as soon as I have an update.

@dalthviz, please add the messages we need to debug this as a first step. Then, after releasing 4.1.0, @pj1989 could send us those logs so we can fix this problem.
