Hi @YNAP !  Thanks for the post.  I spoke to the Manager of the team that handles these issues and he suggested creating a support case.  They are unaware of any issues like this and would need to do a deep dive.

Just to add an update, below the exact error:

VERBOSE: POST http://172.22.32.55:81/SearchSvc/CVWebService.svc/Login with -1-byte payload
VERBOSE: received -1-byte response of content type application/json; charset=utf-8
ValidateResponse :

Explorer's first-launch configuration is not complete. Specify the UseBasicParsing parameter and try again.
