Had the exact same issue - everything ran smoothly yesterday and today this happened. Would really appreciate any input because I haven't been able to find a solution for this online.

Updated: get rid of the space in the root folder name and things should work again

same here

Solution from Reddit - remove spaces in the path. It worked for me.

[launchsolution]

where do you remove the spaces?

[Aimanxvx]

Any folder with spaces in name where webui installed. In your case it is "program files". (and i hope it is not your system folder) In case of OP - folder "Stable DIffusion"

[Aimanxvx]

Note: if you put Stable DIffusion folder in another folder make sure that folder name have no spaces

[bmjhit]

remove the /venv folder will be work

[launchsolution]

Same issue here

[tailecao]

The problem has been fixed. You don't need to remove spaces from the folder.

[YuFengDing]

if you got the same, just try to remove the git path in your webui-user.bat
