@ShuyueMeng This error indicates that you don't have an ipfs config file at C:\Users\mengs\Downloads\kubo_v0.17.0_windows-amd64\kubo\ipfs.exe\config. Can you please respond with the following information so we can investigate further?

1. The path looks wrong (.exe files are not directories) have you successfully used IPFS desktop previously? (i.e. is this an issue with ipfs config not being created correctly? see https://github.com/ipfs/ipfs-desktop#how-does-ipfs-desktop-select-the-ipfs-repo-location)
2. Can you attach your error.log, combined.log, and ipfs config files? https://github.com/ipfs/ipfs-desktop#where-are-my-ipfs-configuration-and-log-files
3. Can you share more details about what you were doing when this error happened?

Thanks!
