Hi,  
Forgive me bothering you @crothmann but any updates on this issue?  
It’s been 3+ weeks since @nesma 's report and the latest Lens is still unusable for Windows pods

Sorry for the disruption, and thanks for your patience. The problem making Lens unusable for Windows pods has been fixed on master for some time. We’re currently preparing a release and aiming to ship the update quite soon. We’ll follow up in this thread when it’s out.
