v4.3 is the last version which works with Streamlit on Windows

macOS seems to be working but something triggers errors in Windows on versions after v4.3.

There is a Github action, you can check the output for v4.5.1 vs v4.3:
https://github.com/aljosa/pyinstaller-streamlit-issues/actions/runs/1150131459

Please note that I use timeout to shutdown the Streamlit server and that's why both versions exit w/ error.

This is the error w/ versions after v4.3:
