Hi all! I have an issue where I am unable to open groups via Active Directory Administrative Center on a Windows Server machine, no error but just hangs instead, no window opens visibly but does show a dead window when you hover over its icon in the taskbar. Doesn't affect all users, and attempted restart as well as a repair using software center.
