I am running the latest version 2021.12.17. I am not sure why the Traceback started from C:\Users\dst. There is no such username on my computer.

Thank you for looking into this.

I believe this has already been reported.
See #31530 and #31675

And which should have been apparent when OP read #30839 as asked.

C:\Users\dst is an artefact of the Windows self-extracting build.
