Aurender N100 software update, now Aurender Media Manager is incompatible!

My Aurender N100 performed a software update this morning to the latest greatest out today version.
Whoopeedoo!
It then restarts and db cannot be downloaded and now ALL of my albums on my local 4tb USB drive cannot be accessed.
Go to my PC to start the Aurender Media Manager to get the lovely message that it is not compatible with the Aurender software and to download the latest version of AMM.
Great, apart from the fact the version I am using IS the latest version and there is nothing newer available from Aurender.
Their help and support desk has been of no help or support as of yet.

Anybody else had this problem today?

I run roon ROCK on a fanless NUC cost $600. You can connect the NUC by USB to your DAC or use an endpoint.you can connect USB drives to it as well.

There seems to be a huge range of NUC for sale.
What would you say are the basic requirements?

Go to roon and look up rock or just Google roon rock it runs on specific NUC’s. They give a list I got a fanless i5 with 8gigs of ram and a 250 G M.2 SSD cost around $600. Roon ROCK is a free download from roon it’s their OS optimized to run roon core server.  Edit: This is easier,

Ahh, that makes more sense. I have only used the USB for copying files into the internal drive. Never tried using USB as an active drive on Aurender. I would still recommend you upgrading to an internal drive as I think this is what Aurender design was optimized for. Even if you still decide to move on to a different system I would guess having the internal drive would dramatically increase it’s saleability and though it is not perfect in all circumstances, the Aurender is a very good platform for playing locally stored music, Qobuz and Tidal. It crushes my optimized iMac Mini for sound quality and I expect you have to spend multiples more for dramatically better sound quality improvements.

Again, good luck
