Description
I've looked at similar issues but I think this one might be unique. (#830 ,#702, #711)
Downloaded and ran Sonic Pi v2.8.0 for Windows from the main page.
Upon first launch the following error was thrown:
Detailed Error Report:

Every time I've tried to run after the first no error is thrown but all buffers include the "# Loading previous buffer contents. Please wait..." comment and there is nothing in the log panel.
I've checked the user directory with .sonic-pi/log and looked at the files after several launch attempts and these logs are there:

This mostly looks similar to issue #702 but there is no evidence of a 'zombie' instance of scsynth in the task manager.
I'm looking to get into live coding and would really like to start here, seems to be a good community and well supported project. Any guidance would be much appreciated!
