    Edit: the fix in this post is no longer be needed.

     

    Anyone else having this problem on an OS6 ARM system running 6.5.0 please download (EDIT LINK REMOVED)

    If it self-extracts grab the zip file from the trash/recycle bin (if it is moved there). It is most important that you have the zip file that was downloaded.

    You will then be prompted to do a reboot.

     

    About 4-5 minutes later the problem should then be fixed.
