The new updater is a .NET application and I'm not sure how it would respond to a loss of connectivity, assuming that's the actual issue. Darq can answer that best, seeing as he wrote it.

You could try running a fresh copy of the updater in case running copy somehow broke. It's entirely stand-alone and doesn't require installation as such.

It's also possible that the misbehavior is due to corrupted local data. Besides the UI files, the updater does store some information elsewhere for its use. One of the reasons I wrote the NukeProfit.BAT script was to ensure that the other local data was deleted when ProfitUI was uninstalled. You might try running that to totally uninstall Profit, then run the updater to reinstall it.

These are just educated guesses. That's about all I can offer without hard evidence like system event logs.

FWIW, I have seen occasional cases of an application just breaking for no obvious reason. I see a lot more of that in Windows 10 than I ever did in Windows 7, but it is a remote possibility.
