Hi @simon1tan ! Thank you for the report. I found the same issue and I'm working on this right now. When it fixed, I will inform you here.

@simon1tan I found the reason. AutoIT libraries are required. I don't know why, but after some Windows updates, the libraries was lost.
Try to run the command:
autoit install
This command will ask for admin privileges and will install AutoIt DLL libraries from the directory "https://github.com/rpossan/autoit/tree/master/vendor".
Try it and please let me know if work.
Thank you!
