    Per OpenAI

    The "manifest file is missing or unreadable" error message usually appears when there is an issue with the Windows operating system. Here are some steps you can try to fix this issue:

    1. Run the System File Checker tool: Open the Command Prompt as an administrator and type "sfc /scannow" and press Enter. This will scan your system files and replace any missing or corrupted files.
    2. Check for Windows updates: Make sure your Windows operating system is up to date. Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and click on "Check for updates".
    3. Run a virus scan: Use your antivirus software to scan your system for any viruses or malware that may be causing the issue.
    4. Perform a clean boot: This will help you identify if any third-party software is causing the issue. To do this, open the System Configuration tool by typing "msconfig" in the search bar and then select "Selective startup" and uncheck "Load startup items".

    If none of these steps work, you may need to consider resetting your Windows operating system or seeking further assistance from Microsoft support.
