Problem MiKTeX 21.1 and TexStudio 3.0.4 - "Sorry, but pdflatex.exe did not succeed." error

TeX - LaTeX Asked by Rocco Gentile on May 13, 2021

I have some issues after the latest MiKTeX (v. 21.1) and TexStudio (v. 3.0.4) since yesterday afternoon. I am trying to compile my document using pdflatex, but I always receive this error message:
"Sorry, but pdflatex.exe did not succeed. The log file hopefully contains the information to get MiKTeX going again: … Process exited with error(s)"
The latest messages in the pdflatex log file report as follow:

2021-01-24 12:28:31,726+0100 INFO  pdflatex - this process (948) finishes with exit code 1

I actually don’t know what these errors mean, and in particular this kind of problem appeared after I have run the Update check from the MiKTeX console. Therefore I believe it is somehow related.

Thanks a lot for your support.

I had the same problem, until I manually deleted a previous version of the MiKTeX distribution. If you can uninstall the previous version, even better.
