You do need to start FAM first for the right file to load into your computer. Without opening FAM first I still had the August version and didn't have the option for FAM updates.

I had never used FAM before and trying it for the first time the other day I was getting the same issues. After repairing in Windows FAM worked the first time opening but then stopped again, I'm assuming because I had FAM updates selected. Now with FAM updates unselected it is working for me. Thank you for that suggestion
