[ERROR]...The pipe is being closed.
Hi all,
I've been using the CLI for a few months without any issues and then for some reason it stopped working and a constantly get the following error:
PS C:\Users\Mike> op --version
2.31.0
PS C:\Users\Mike> op account list
[ERROR] 2025/06/02 12:04:04 connecting to desktop app: write: The pipe is being closed.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the CLI and then both the CLI and the Desktop client.
I've tried all the suggested remedies I could find online and ensured all the relevant settings are either on or off. Nothing seems to work.
Appreciate any guidance you can provide to debug further.

The trick was to delete the folder C:\ProgramFiles\1Password CLI because on my system "winget uninstall 1password-cli --force" didn't actually remove the folder....even through the command succeeded!
Then installing the specific version mentioned in a previous thread worked as per below:
[ADMIN]:PS C:\Users\Mike> winget install 1password-cli --version 2.30.3 --force
Found 1Password CLI [AgileBits.1Password.CLI] Version 2.30.3
