How to fix a python no PWD module error on startup of POS
This article is for anyone who needs to fix a PWD python error that is generated on POS module startup.
Clients may sometimes get an error like the following when they try to start up our software.
This could be due to multiple issues. First check these two.
Potentially due to Windows locking the PWD while it is doing updates. To fix this check if they have pending windows updates and then manually start those updates in the windows update control panel. After the updates are done downloading and installing as well as any associated restarts, the software should work.
After Windows Updates if this continues to fail, attempt Deleting the Pinogy Cache in AppData
If that fails view this article

Verify of WMI is working. If it is valid then escalate as necessary.
If nothing else is working you can also try this:
Delete the user.ini
Rerun sw.exe
Microsoft One Drive seems to try to interfere with User.ini / Global.ini and also moving the Pinogy installer away from a OneDrive folder allowed to run as adminstrator.
