Deleting dir AppData\Roaming"Teleport Connect"\ will not help

  Install the new version and launch it.
• Debug logs

The error message doesn't help much because of how AggregateError returned by Promise.any gets serialized to string. But the code that fails is related to reading C:\Users\<user\AppData\Roaming\Teleport Connect\certs\renderer.crt.

teleport/web/packages/teleterm/src/sharedProcess/sharedProcess.ts

Line 124 in 5d11de0

readGrpcCert(certsDir, GrpcCertName.Renderer),

teleport/web/packages/teleterm/src/services/grpcCredentials/files.ts

Line 96 in 5d11de0

return await Promise.any([watchForFile(), checkIfFileAlreadyExists()]);

Alas, you've already said that removing the whole Teleport Connect user data directory doesn't help. The code that fails hasn't been modified since v12 at least, so I suspect it's either something related to an updated version of Electron (and thus Node.js) or something specific to your setup.

There's not much we can debug further without more error information unfortunately. Given that it's another instance of Promise.any biting us with an unclear error message, I'm inclined to create a wrapper which makes sure that the underlying errors do end up in the logs. This would help us move forward on this issue. I unfortunately cannot promise when this will happen as I'm busy with other tasks, but I'll keep this issue in mind.

#50640 makes sure we don't lose error information. It'll be included in the next v15 and v16 release, but in the meantime, could you try running Teleport Connect v17.1.4 to see if that PR helps with identifying the problem?
