There are several recent reports like this. Many are due to Avast, but if that doesn't apply, there are cases where TB loses track of the profile. Indicate if you're an Avast/AVG user.
yes avast is running on the machine
I also did look the perfs.js file and it seemed in order, and it was the only one.

yup, it sure was avast.
it had quarantined the perf.js file multiple times over the course of 2 minutes. I restored and made an exception for the first instance of quarantine and now it works.
Thanks so much, this was hard enough doing it remotely with someone who isn't a power user. This forum is great for information, but not so great at finding it, I read many articles what were years old and never even saw a recent post about this issue.
