Currently, I get many error messages when using htlatex in connection with
biblatex.
The following minimal example
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{biblatex}
\begin{document}
\end{document}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
compiles well in latex and pdflatex (to an empty document), but with htlatex I
get the error
"! Package biblatex Error: Patching 'ifthen' package failed."
(using miktex with all packages updated from CTAN, including biblatex.sty
from 2020/12/31 v3.16 and the biblatex.4ht version from (2019-12-20-14:01) ).
It works for me on Linux under textlive 2020 using make4ht and htlatex.
No errors.
I tried it on Miktex 2.9 under windows 10, and it gives error.

Looks like Miktex issue of some sort.
btw, better to use make4ht command to compile with.
