I see several folks have been disappointed with the new console. I perhaps more so than others... I used the old updater yesterday, and 1) was surprised to see the console and TexWorks install themselves - in the wrong folder of my start menu - uninvited; 2) apparently break the links to the old update utilities; and,
most important of all... NOTHING on the new console works. It can't find any repositories, though it offers me a list of packages. If I download a package manually, it refuses to update the FNDB. (So, for the moment - I cannot use any package I didn't already have installed before I updated!) I get offered no more helpful error than "timed out". I would be mildly sympathetic to something like incorrect proxy settings, for connecting to a repository (no proxy was needed, for the old system.) I can't imagine what type of problem would cause even the FNDB refresh to fail. Windows 10 64-bit here. All words of wisdom welcomed.
