IDE hangs on startup: "Unable to get Documents Folder: The system cannot find the path specified."

Gonna just tag along here hoping someone can help me with a similar issue. I cannot get past the initial loading screen. Posted a snipit of my logs below. Hopefully someone smarter than me can help me understand what is going on. This is IDE version 2.2.1
