Unable to restore session after upgrade

[tim-seoss]

Steps to reproduce

Updated via Debian package update element-desktop:amd64 version 1.11.71 to 1.11.74.

We encountered an error trying to restore your previous session.

If you have previously used a more recent version of Element, your session may be incompatible with this version. Close this window and return to the more recent version.

Clearing your browser's storage may fix the problem, but will sign you out and cause any encrypted chat history to become unreadable.

Application version
