Unable to Start a virtual controller/unpack Pack & Go succesfully

RobotStudio

My RobotStudio suddenly can’t launch any virtual controller (which previously worked fine); I’m using RobotWare version 6.10.

I’ve attempted the following measures without success:

  1. installing the latest RobotStudio
  2. creating a new VC, which also failed to start
  3. uninstalling recent Windows updates
  4. turning off the Windows Defender firewall
  5. and repacking the previous Pack & Go.

While I try unpacking a Pack & Go file, the window displays

"Failed to restore backup from %VC name%. Restore failed for one or more controllers in the Pack & Go file. "
“Please try to restore the backup manually, or unpack again using a RobotWare version that matches the original.”
RobotStudio .NET exception: C0040403: No response from controller. Netscan timeout

While I tried to launch a previously working project, an error message appeared stating,

“There was a problem when starting the virtual controller.
No response from controller.”
