I hope they'll find a fix eventually. For now, I've had to resort to a different source, but MusicBee doesn't really know how to handle those output files, so it all comes out mumbly jumbly on my Walkman...

Yes I disable windows defender but it looks like the cause is the pop ups

Same thing happened to me because Windows Defender blocked
C:\Users%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Temp\onefile_16516_134148899276118941\get_token.dll

33/72 detects it as malware. Your AV might be the reason this happens.

this is marked as completed however the issue still persists, downloads still fail due to pop ups and ads obstructing the fetching process, and even more concerning is how even if you have adblock and ublock origin installed in chrome, the app still launches chrome but without any of those extensions

In the latest commit, I've integrated uBlock Origin Lite to eliminate pop-ups. You are welcome to fork and build it. The newest version is still under development prior to release, but it is currently functional.
