"PDQ Deploy has lots its connection to the server."

Hello,

I've run into a problem with PDQ Deploy. I updated it just a little bit ago, and now when I start the console, the service stops and it displays a window saying that the service is disconnected.

I ran across a post with a similar error code to the one I'm getting (https://support.pdq.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/215730327-PDQ-Console-has-stopped-working), and the fix for them was to uninstall and re-install .NET Framework. I went ahead and did this (uninstalled 4.5.2, and installed 4.6.2), but it had no effect. The person that answered that said that uninstalling and reinstalling PDQ Deploy shouldn't be necessary, so wanted to ask on here before doing that.

There are 3 events showing up in the event viewer when this happens:
