your have an issue with your meshcentral setup, it might of tried to self-update but the update went sideways or your internet cut out

1. stop meshcentral service
2. BACKUP c:\mc
3. open cmd.exe
4. cd c:\mc
5. npm remove meshcentral
6. npm install meshcentral
7. start meshcentral service

Thx Simon!

make sure selfupdate: false is set under settings in your config.json,
this makes sure meshcentral DOESNT AUTO-UPDATE ITSELF!
instead you update it manually using the web ui OR npm install meshcentral
