Hub 2.2.1 "Cannot convert name to ASCII" break all functionality

Unity Engine
1

this seems to be due to an error in initialization. from the logs, i got this error:
{“moduleName”:“Auth”,“level”:“warn”,“message”:“[ Error: Cannot convert name to ASCII\n at Url.parse (url.js:384:23)\n at Object.urlParse [as parse] (url.js:149:13)\n at dispatchHttpRequest (C:\Program Files\Unity Hub\resources\app.asar\node_modules\axios\lib\adapters\http.js:57:22)\n at new Promise ()\n at httpAdapter (C:\Program Files\Unity Hub\resources\app.asar\node_modules\axios\lib\adapters\http.js:18:10)\n at dispatchRequest (C:\Program Files\Unity Hub\resources\app.asar\node_modules\axios\lib\core\dispatchRequest.js:59:10)\n at async Auth.logInWithAccessToken (C:\Program Files\Unity Hub\resources\app.asar\src\services\localAuth\auth.js:64:22) ]”,“timestamp”:“2019-12-06T16:30:07.822Z”}

now my unity hub looks like this Screenshot - 800558b1298d73c5a554c54b5848c488 - Gyazo

happened as soon as i restarted on 2.2.0 and updated to 2.2.1

uninstalling and reinstalling the program seems to have fixed the issue. i’m not sure why this was necessary though, it has never been an issue with any previous update i have encountered for hub.
